2015-12-17qapi: Enforce (or whitelist) case conventions on qapi membersEric Blake
We document that members of enums and objects should be 'lower-case', although we were not enforcing it. We have to whitelist a few pre-existing entities that violate the norms. Add three new tests to expose the new error message, each of which first uses the whitelisted name 'UuidInfo' to prove the whitelist works, then triggers the failure (this is the same pattern used in the existing returns-whitelist.json test). Note that by adding this check, we have effectively forbidden an entity with a case-insensitive clash of member names, for any entity that is not on the whitelist (although there is still the possibility to clash via '-' vs. '_'). Not done here: a future patch should also add naming convention support and whitelist exceptions for command, event, and type names. The additions to QAPISchemaMember.check_clash() check whether info['name'] is in the whitelist (the top-most entity name at the point 'info' tracks), rather than self.owner (the type, possibly implicit, that directly owns the member), because it is easier to maintain the whitelist by the names actually in the user's .json file, rather than worrying about the names of implicit types.
