qapi: Track owner of each object member
Future commits will migrate semantic checking away from parsing and over to the various QAPISchema*.check() methods. But to report an error message about an incorrect semantic use of a member of an object type, it helps to know which type, command, or event owns the member. In particular, when a member is inherited from a base type, it is desirable to associate the member name with the base type (and not the type calling member.check()). Rather than packing additional information into the seen array passed to each member.check() (as in seen[m.name] = {'member':m, 'owner':type}), it is easier to have each member track the name of the owner type in the first place (keeping things simpler with the existing seen[m.name] = m). The new member.owner field is set via a new set_owner() method, called when registering the members and variants arrays with an object or variant type. Track only a name, and not the actual type object, to avoid creating a circular python reference chain. Note that Variants.set_owner() method does not set the owner for the tag_member field; this field is set earlier either as part of an object's non-variant members, or explicitly by alternates. The source information is intended for human consumption in error messages, and a new describe() method is added to access the resulting information. For example, given the qapi: { 'command': 'foo', 'data': { 'string': 'str' } } an implementation of visit_command() that calls arg_type.members[0].describe() will see "'string' (parameter of foo)". To make the human-readable name of implicit types work without duplicating efforts, the describe() method has to reverse the name of implicit types, via the helper _pretty_owner(). No change to generated code.
