Mandatory option is silly, and the error handling is missing: the
programs crash when -i isn't supplied. Make it an argument, and check
it properly.

We have more than one qapi schema in use by more than one protocol.
Add a new term 'Client JSON Protocol' for use throughout the
document, to avoid confusion on whether something refers only to
QMP and not QGA.

Referring to "type" as both a meta-type (built-in, enum, union,
alternate, or struct) and a specific type (the name that the
schema uses for declaring structs) is confusing. Now that the
generator accepts 'struct' as a synonym for 'type', update all
documentation to use saner wording.

The next patch will quit special-casing "'union':'Foo',
'discriminator':{}" and instead use "'alternate':'Foo'".
Separating docs from implementation makes it easier to focus
on wording without holding up code. In particular, making
alternate a separate type makes for a nice type hierarchy:
/-------- meta-type ------\
/ | \
simple types alternate complex types
| | | |
built-in enum type(struct) union
| \ / / \
numeric string simple flat
A later patch will then clean up 'type' vs. 'struct'
confusion.

While our top-level COPYING with its GPLv2+ license applies to
any documentation file that omits explicit instructions, these
days it's better to be a good example of calling out our
intentions. Correct use of GPL requires the use of a copyright
statement, so I'm adding notice to two QAPI documents, by
attributing these files to the initial authors and major
contributors. I used:
$ git blame --line-porcelain $file \
| sed -n 's/^author //p' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
to determine authorship of these two files. qmp-spec.txt blames
entirely to Red Hat (easy, since my contribution falls in that
category); while qapi-code-gen.txt has multiple contributors
representing multiple entities. But since it was originally
supplied by Michael Roth, the notice I added there copies the
notice he has used in other files. As there is no intended
change in license from the implicit one previously present from
the top level, I have not bothered to CC other contributors;
if we want to weaken things to something looser (such as LGPL)
so that there is no question that someone re-implementing the
spec is not forced to use GPL, that would be a different commit.

Commit 21cd70d added event support but didn't document what the
generated code looks like. Commit 05dfb26 removed some unwanted
spaces in the generated code, but didn't reflect those changes
into the documentation. Finally, the docs start with a big
disclaimer about QMP not using QAPI yet, which feels rather stale.

qapi-event.py will parse the schema and generate qapi-event.c, then
the API in qapi-event.c can be used to handle events in qemu code.
All API have prefix "qapi_event".
The script mainly includes two parts: generate API for each event
define, generate an enum type for all defined events.
Since in some cases the real emit behavior may change, for example,
qemu-img would not send a event, a callback layer is used to
control the behavior. As a result, the stubs at compile time
can be saved, the binding of block layer code and monitor code
will become looser.

The purpose of this change is to help create a json file containing
common definitions; each bit of generated C code must be emitted
only one time.
A second history global to all QAPISchema instances has been added
to detect when a file is included more than one time and skip these
includes.
It does not act as a stack and the changes made to it by the
__init__ function are propagated back to the caller so it's really
a global state.

We commonly use the error API like this:
err = NULL;
foo(..., &err);
if (err) {
goto out;
}
bar(..., &err);
Every error source is checked separately. The second function is only
called when the first one succeeds. Both functions are free to pass
their argument to error_set(). Because error_set() asserts no error
has been set, this effectively means they must not be called with an
error set.
The qapi-generated code uses the error API differently:
// *errp was initialized to NULL somewhere up the call chain
frob(..., errp);
gnat(..., errp);
Errors accumulate in *errp: first error wins, subsequent errors get
dropped. To make this work, the second function does nothing when
called with an error set. Requires non-null errp, or else the second
function can't see the first one fail.
This usage has also bled into visitor tests, and two device model
object property getters rtc_get_date() and balloon_stats_get_all().
With the "accumulate" technique, you need fewer error checks in
callers, and buy that with an error check in every callee. Can be
nice.
However, mixing the two techniques is confusing. You can't use the
"accumulate" technique with functions designed for the "check
separately" technique. You can use the "check separately" technique
with functions designed for the "accumulate" technique, but then
error_set() can't catch you setting an error more than once.
Standardize on the "check separately" technique for now, because it's
overwhelmingly prevalent.

Input and output marshalling functions do it differently. Change them
to work the same: initialize the I/O visitor, use it, clean it up,
initialize the dealloc visitor, use it, clean it up.
This delays dealloc visitor initialization in output marshalling
functions, and input visitor cleanup in input marshalling functions.
No functional change, but the latter will be convenient when I change
the error handling.

By default, any union will automatically generate a enum type as
"[UnionName]Kind" in C code, and it is duplicated when the discriminator
is specified as a pre-defined enum type in schema. After this patch,
the pre-defined enum type will be really used as the switch case
condition in generated C code, if discriminator is an enum field.

This introduces a new 'base' key for struct definitions that refers to
another struct type. On the JSON level, the fields of the base type are
included directly into the same namespace as the fields of the defined
type, like with unions. On the C level, a pointer to a struct of the
base type is included.

The discriminator for anonymous unions is the data type. This allows to
have a union type that allows both of these:
{ 'file': 'my_existing_block_device_id' }
{ 'file': { 'filename': '/tmp/mydisk.qcow2', 'read-only': true } }
Unions like this are specified in the schema with an empty dict as
discriminator. For this example you could take:
{ 'union': 'BlockRef',
'discriminator': {},
'data': { 'definition': 'BlockOptions',
'reference': 'str' } }
{ 'type': 'ExampleObject',
'data: { 'file': 'BlockRef' } }

Instead of the rather verbose syntax that distinguishes base and
subclass fields...
{ "type": "file",
"read-only": true,
"data": {
"filename": "test"
} }
...we can now have both in the same namespace, allowing a more direct
mapping of the command line, and moving fields between the common base
and subclasses without breaking the API:
{ "driver": "file",
"read-only": true,
"filename": "test" }

Don't overwrite / leak previously set errors.
Make traversal cope with missing mandatory sub-structs.
Don't try to end a container that could not be started.
v1->v2:
- unchanged
v2->v3:
- instead of examining, assert that we never overwrite errors with
error_set()
- allow visitors to set a NULL struct pointer successfully, so traversal
of incomplete objects can continue
- check for a NULL "obj" before accessing "(*obj)->has_XXX" (this is not a
typo, "obj != NULL" implies "*obj != NULL" here)
- fix start_struct / end_struct balance for unions as well

Right now, the semantics of next_list are complicated. The caller must:
* call start_list
* call next_list for each element *including the first*
* on the first call to next_list, the second argument should point to
NULL and the result is the head of the list. On subsequent calls,
the second argument should point to the last node (last result of
next_list) and next_list itself tacks the element at the tail of the
list.
This works for both input and output visitor, but having the visitor
write memory when it is only reading the list is ugly. Plus, relying
on *list to detect the first call is tricky and undocumented.
We can initialize so->entry in next_list instead of start_list, leaving
it NULL in start_list. This way next_list sees clearly whether it is
on the first call---as a bonus, it discriminates the cases based on
internal state of the visitor rather than external state. We can
also pull the assignment of the list head from generated code up to
next_list.
