87adbbffd4 qapi: add a dictionary form for TYPE
Wherever a struct/union/alternate/command/event member with NAME: TYPE
form is accepted, desugar it to a NAME: { 'type': TYPE } form.

This will allow to add new member details, such as 'if' in the
following patch to introduce conditionals, or 'default' for default
values etc.

87c16dceca qapi: Back out doc comments added just to please qapi.py
This reverts commit 3313b61's changes to tests/qapi-schema/, except
for tests/qapi-schema/doc-*.

We could keep some of these doc comments to serve as positive test
cases.  However, they don't actually add to what we get from doc
comment use in actual schemas, as we we don't test output matches
expectations, and don't systematically cover doc comment features.
Proper positive test coverage would be nice.

3313b6124b qapi: add qapi2texi script
As the name suggests, the qapi2texi script converts JSON QAPI
description into a texi file suitable for different target
formats (info/man/txt/pdf/html...).

It parses the following kind of blocks:

Free-form:

  ##
  # = Section
  # == Subsection
  #
  # Some text foo with *emphasis*
  # 1. with a list
  # 2. like that
  #
  # And some code:
  # | $ echo foo
  # | -> do this
  # | <- get that
  #
  ##

Symbol description:

  ##
  # @symbol:
  #
  # Symbol body ditto ergo sum. Foo bar
  # baz ding.
  #
  # @param1: the frob to frobnicate
  # @param2: #optional how hard to frobnicate
  #
  # Returns: the frobnicated frob.
  #          If frob isn't frobnicatable, GenericError.
  #
  # Since: version
  # Notes: notes, comments can have
  #        - itemized list
  #        - like this
  #
  # Example:
  #
  # -> { "execute": "quit" }
  # <- { "return": {} }
  #
  ##

That's roughly following the following EBNF grammar:

api_comment = "##\n" comment "##\n"
comment = freeform_comment | symbol_comment
freeform_comment = { "# " text "\n" | "#\n" }
symbol_comment = "# @" name ":\n" { member | tag_section | freeform_comment }
member = "# @" name ':' [ text ] "\n" freeform_comment
tag_section = "# " ( "Returns:", "Since:", "Note:", "Notes:", "Example:", "Examples:" ) [ text ]  "\n" freeform_comment
text = free text with markup

Note that the grammar is ambiguous: a line "# @foo:\n" can be parsed
both as freeform_comment and as symbol_comment.  The actual parser
recognizes symbol_comment.

See docs/qapi-code-gen.txt for more details.

Deficiencies and limitations:
- the generated QMP documentation includes internal types
- union type support is lacking
- type information is lacking in generated documentation
- doc comment error message positions are imprecise, they point
  to the beginning of the comment.
- a few minor issues, all marked TODO/FIXME in the code

9b090d42ae qapi: Command returning anonymous type doesn't work, outlaw
Reproducer: with

    { 'command': 'user_def_cmd4', 'returns': { 'a': 'int' } }

added to qapi-schema-test.json, qapi-commands.py dies when it tries to
generate the command handler function

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/work/armbru/qemu/scripts/qapi-commands.py", line 359, in <module>
        ret = generate_command_decl(cmd['command'], arglist, ret_type) + "\n"
      File "/work/armbru/qemu/scripts/qapi-commands.py", line 29, in generate_command_decl
        ret_type=c_type(ret_type), name=c_name(name),
      File "/work/armbru/qemu/scripts/qapi.py", line 927, in c_type
        assert isinstance(value, str) and value != ""
    AssertionError

because the return type doesn't exist.

Simply outlaw this usage, and drop or dumb down test cases accordingly.

6b5abc7df7 qapi: Drop support for inline nested types
A future patch will be using a 'name':{dictionary} entry in the
QAPI schema to specify a default value for an optional argument
(see previous commit messages for more details why); but existing
use of inline nested structs conflicts with that goal. Now that
all commands have been changed to avoid inline nested structs,
nuke support for them, and turn it into a hard error. Update the
testsuite to reflect tighter parsing rules.

0d8b9fb5f2 qapi: Add some type check tests
Demonstrate that the qapi generator silently parses confusing
types, which may cause other errors later on. Later patches
will update the expected results as the generator is made stricter.

Most of the new tests focus on blatant errors.  But
returns-whitelist is a case where we have historically allowed
returning something other than a JSON object from particular
commands; we have to keep that behavior to avoid breaking clients,
but it would be nicer to avoid adding such commands in the future,
because any return that is not an (array of) object cannot be
easily extended if future qemu wants to return additional
information.  The QMP protocol already documents that clients
should ignore unknown dictionary keys, but does not require
clients to have to handle more than one type of JSON object.
