2015-05-05qapi: Prefer 'struct' over 'type' in generatorEric Blake
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. The confusion is only made worse by the fact that the generator mostly already refers to struct even when dealing with expr['type']. This commit changes the generator to consistently refer to it as struct everywhere, plus a single back-compat tweak that allows accepting the existing .json files as-is, so that the meat of this change is separate from the mindless churn of that change. Fix the testsuite fallout for error messages that change, and in some cases, become more legible. Improve comments to better match our intentions where a struct (rather than any complex type) is required. Note that in some cases, an error message now refers to 'struct' while the schema still refers to 'type'; that will be cleaned up in the later commit to the schema.

2015-05-05qapi: More rigourous checking of typesEric Blake
Now that we know every expression is valid with regards to its keys, we can add further tests that those keys refer to valid types. With this patch, all uses of a type (the 'data': of command, type, union, alternate, and event; the 'returns': of command; the 'base': of type and union) must resolve to an appropriate subset of metatypes declared by the current qapi parse; this includes recursing into each member of a data dictionary. Dealing with '**' and nested anonymous structs will be done in later patches. Update the testsuite to match improved output.

2015-05-05qapi: Add some expr testsEric Blake
Demonstrate that the qapi generator doesn't deal well with expressions that aren't up to par. Later patches will improve the expected results as the generator is made stricter. Only a few of the the added tests actually behave sanely at rejecting obvious problems or demonstrating success. Note that in some cases, we reject bad QAPI merely because our pseudo-JSON parser does not yet know how to parse numbers. This series does not address that, but when a later series adds support for numeric defaults of integer fields, the testsuite will ensure that we don't lose the error (and hopefully that the error message quality is improved).
