qmp: Print descriptions of object properties
Add a new "description" field to DevicePropertyInfo. The descriptions can serve as documentation in the code, and they can be used to provide better help. For example: $./qemu-system-x86_64 -device virtio-blk-pci,? Before this patch: virtio-blk-pci.iothread=link<iothread> virtio-blk-pci.x-data-plane=bool virtio-blk-pci.scsi=bool virtio-blk-pci.config-wce=bool virtio-blk-pci.serial=str virtio-blk-pci.secs=uint32 virtio-blk-pci.heads=uint32 virtio-blk-pci.cyls=uint32 virtio-blk-pci.discard_granularity=uint32 virtio-blk-pci.bootindex=int32 virtio-blk-pci.opt_io_size=uint32 virtio-blk-pci.min_io_size=uint16 virtio-blk-pci.physical_block_size=uint16 virtio-blk-pci.logical_block_size=uint16 virtio-blk-pci.drive=str virtio-blk-pci.virtio-backend=child<virtio-blk-device> virtio-blk-pci.command_serr_enable=on/off virtio-blk-pci.multifunction=on/off virtio-blk-pci.rombar=uint32 virtio-blk-pci.romfile=str virtio-blk-pci.addr=pci-devfn virtio-blk-pci.event_idx=on/off virtio-blk-pci.indirect_desc=on/off virtio-blk-pci.vectors=uint32 virtio-blk-pci.ioeventfd=on/off virtio-blk-pci.class=uint32 After: virtio-blk-pci.iothread=link<iothread> virtio-blk-pci.x-data-plane=bool (on/off) virtio-blk-pci.scsi=bool (on/off) virtio-blk-pci.config-wce=bool (on/off) virtio-blk-pci.serial=str virtio-blk-pci.secs=uint32 virtio-blk-pci.heads=uint32 virtio-blk-pci.cyls=uint32 virtio-blk-pci.discard_granularity=uint32 virtio-blk-pci.bootindex=int32 virtio-blk-pci.opt_io_size=uint32 virtio-blk-pci.min_io_size=uint16 virtio-blk-pci.physical_block_size=uint16 (A power of two between 512 and 32768) virtio-blk-pci.logical_block_size=uint16 (A power of two between 512 and 32768) virtio-blk-pci.drive=str (ID of a drive to use as a backend) virtio-blk-pci.virtio-backend=child<virtio-blk-device> virtio-blk-pci.command_serr_enable=bool (on/off) virtio-blk-pci.multifunction=bool (on/off) virtio-blk-pci.rombar=uint32 virtio-blk-pci.romfile=str virtio-blk-pci.addr=int32 (Slot and optional function number, example: 06.0 or 06) virtio-blk-pci.event_idx=bool (on/off) virtio-blk-pci.indirect_desc=bool (on/off) virtio-blk-pci.vectors=uint32 virtio-blk-pci.ioeventfd=bool (on/off) virtio-blk-pci.class=uint32 Cc: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Gonglei <arei.gonglei@huawei.com> Reviewed-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Michael S.
