Daniel P. Berrange cbd8acf38f qapi: qobject input visitor variant for use with keyval_parse()
Currently the QObjectInputVisitor assumes that all scalar values are
directly represented as the final types declared by the thing being
visited. i.e. it assumes an 'int' is using QInt, and a 'bool' is using
QBool, etc.  This is good when QObjectInputVisitor is fed a QObject
that came from a JSON document on the QMP monitor, as it will strictly
validate correctness.

To allow QObjectInputVisitor to be reused for visiting a QObject
originating from keyval_parse(), an alternative mode is needed where
all the scalars types are represented as QString and converted on the
fly to the final desired type.

Rebased, conflicts resolved, commit message updated to refer to
keyval_parse().  autocast replaced by keyval in identifiers,
noautocast replaced by fail in tests.

Fix qobject_input_type_uint64_keyval() not to reject '-', for QemuOpts
compatibility: replace parse_uint_full() by open-coded
parse_option_number().  The next commit will add suitable tests.
Leave out the fancy ERANGE error reporting for now, but add a TODO
comment.  Add it qobject_input_type_int64_keyval() and
qobject_input_type_number_keyval(), too.

Open code parse_option_bool() and parse_option_size() so we have to
call qobject_input_get_name() only when actually needed.  Again, leave
out ERANGE error reporting for now.

QAPI/QMP downstream extension prefixes __RFQDN_ don't work, because
keyval_parse() splits them at '.'.  This will be addressed later in
the series.

qobject_input_type_int64_keyval(), qobject_input_type_uint64_keyval(),
qobject_input_type_number_keyval() tweaked for style.

* Create a QObject input visitor for @obj
*
* A QObject input visitor visit builds a QAPI object from a QObject.
* This simultaneously walks the QAPI object being built and the
* QObject. The latter walk starts at @obj.
*
* visit_type_FOO() creates an instance of QAPI type FOO. The visited
* QObject must match FOO. QDict matches struct/union types, QList
* matches list types, QString matches type 'str' and enumeration
* types, QInt matches integer types, QFloat matches type 'number',
* QBool matches type 'bool'. Type 'any' is matched by QObject. A
* QAPI alternate type is matched when one of its member types is.
*
* visit_start_struct() ... visit_end_struct() visits a QDict and
* creates a QAPI struct/union. Visits in between visit the
* dictionary members. visit_optional() is true when the QDict has
* this member. visit_check_struct() fails if unvisited members
* remain.
*
* visit_start_list() ... visit_end_list() visits a QList and creates
* a QAPI list. Visits in between visit list members, one after the
* other. visit_next_list() returns NULL when all QList members have
* been visited. visit_check_list() fails if unvisited members
* remain.
*
* visit_start_alternate() ... visit_end_alternate() visits a QObject
* and creates a QAPI alternate. The visit in between visits the same
* QObject and initializes the alternate member that is in use.
*
* Error messages refer to parts of @obj in JavaScript/Python syntax.
* For example, 'a.b[2]' refers to the second member of the QList
* member 'b' of the QDict member 'a' of QDict @obj.
*
* The caller is responsible for freeing the visitor with
* visit_free().
