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

27b60ab93b qapi: Detect collisions in C member names 
Detect attempts to declare two object members that would result
in the same C member name, by keying the 'seen' dictionary off
of the C name rather than the qapi name.  It also requires passing
info through the check_clash() methods.

This addresses a TODO and fixes the previously-broken
args-name-clash test.  The resulting error message demonstrates
the utility of the .describe() method added previously.  No change
to generated code.

d220fbcd1d qapi: Test for various name collisions 
Expose some weaknesses in the generator: we don't always forbid
the generation of structs that contain multiple members that map
to the same C or QMP name.  This has already been marked FIXME in
qapi.py in commit d90675f, but having more tests will make sure
future patches produce desired behavior; and updating existing
patches to better document things doesn't hurt, either.  Some of
these collisions are already caught in the old-style parser
checks, but ultimately we want all collisions to be caught in the
new-style QAPISchema*.check() methods.

This patch focuses on C struct members, and does not consider
collisions between commands and events (affecting C function
names), or even collisions between generated C type names with
user type names (for things like automatic FOOList struct
representing array types or FOOKind for an implicit enum).

There are two types of struct collisions we want to catch:
 1) Collision between two keys in a JSON object. qapi.py prevents
    that within a single struct (see test duplicate-key), but it is
    possible to have collisions between a type's members and its
    base type's members (existing tests struct-base-clash,
    struct-base-clash-deep), and its flat union variant members
    (renamed test flat-union-clash-member).
 2) Collision between two members of the C struct that is generated
    for a given QAPI type:
    a) Multiple QAPI names map to the same C name (new test
       args-name-clash)
    b) A QAPI name maps to a C name that is used for another purpose
       (new tests flat-union-clash-branch, struct-base-clash-base,
       union-clash-data). We already fixed some such cases in commit
       0f61af3e and 1e6c1616, but more remain.
    c) Two C names generated for other purposes clash
       (updated test alternate-clash, new test union-clash-branches,
       union-clash-type, flat-union-clash-type)

Ultimately, if we need to have a flat union where a tag value
clashes with a base member name, we could change the generator to
name the union (using 'foo.u.value' rather than 'foo.value') or
otherwise munge the C name corresponding to tag values.  But
unless such a need arises, it will probably be easier to just
forbid these collisions.

Some of these negative tests will be deleted later, and positive
tests added to qapi-schema-test.json in their place, when the
generator code is reworked to avoid particular code generation
collisions in class 2).

[Note that viewing this patch with git rename detection enabled
may see some confusion due to renaming some tests while adding
others, but where the content is similar enough that git picks
the wrong pre- and post-patch files to associate]
