qapi: Enable enum member introspection to show more than name
The next commit will add feature flags to enum members. There's a problem, though: query-qmp-schema shows an enum type's members as an array of member names (SchemaInfoEnum member @values). If it showed an array of objects with a name member, we could simply add more members to these objects. Since it's just strings, we can't. I can see three ways to correct this design mistake: 1. Do it the way we should have done it, plus compatibility goo. We want a ['SchemaInfoEnumMember'] member in SchemaInfoEnum. Since changing @values would be a compatibility break, add a new member @members instead. @values is now redundant. In my testing, output of qemu-system-x86_64's query-qmp-schema grows by 11% (18.5KiB). We can deprecate @values now and drop it later. This will break outmoded clients. Well-behaved clients such as libvirt are expected to break cleanly. 2. Like 1, but omit "boring" elements of @member, and empty @member. @values does not become redundant. @members augments it. Somewhat cumbersome, but output of query-qmp-schema grows only as we make enum members non-boring. There is nothing to deprecate here. 3. Versioned query-qmp-schema. query-qmp-schema provides either @values or @members. The QMP client can select which version it wants. There is no redundant output. We can deprecate old versions and eventually drop them. This will break outmoded clients. Breaking cleanly is easier than for 1. While 1 and 2 operate within the common rules for compatible evolution apply (section "Compatibility considerations" in docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.rst), 3 bypasses them. Attractive when operating within the rules is just too awkward. Not the case here. This commit implements 1. Libvirt developers prefer it. Deprecate @values in favour of @members. Since query-qmp-schema compatibility is pretty fundamental for management applications, an extended grace period is advised.
