Now that we are fully switched over to the new QMP library, move it back
over the old namespace. This is being done primarily so that we may
upload this package simply as "qemu.qmp" without introducing confusion
over whether or not "aqmp" is a new protocol or not.
The trade-off is increased confusion inside the QEMU developer
tree. Sorry!
Note: the 'private' member "_aqmp" in legacy.py also changes to "_qmp";
not out of necessity, but just to remove any traces of the "aqmp"
name.

Well, Cleber was right, this is a better name.
In preparation for adding a different kind of virtual environment check
(One that simply uses whichever version of Python you happen to have),
rename this test 'check-pipenv' so that it matches the CI job
'check-python-pipenv'.
Remove the "If you don't know which test to run" hint, because it's not
actually likely you have Python 3.6 installed to be able to run the
test. It's still the test I'd most prefer you to run, but it's not the
test you are most likely to be able to run.
Rename the 'venv' target to 'pipenv' as well, and move the more
pertinent help text under the 'check-pipenv' target.

Clarifying a few points; removing the reference to 'setuptools' because
it isn't referenced anywhere else in this document and doesn't really
provide any useful information to a Python newcomer.
Adjusting the language elsewhere to be less ambiguous and have fewer
run-on sentences.

Add "make venv" to create the pipenv-managed virtual environment that
contains our explicitly pinned dependencies.
Add "make check" to run the python linters [in the host execution
environment].
Add "make venv-check" which combines the above two: create/update the
venv, then run the linters in that explicitly managed environment.
Add "make develop" which canonizes the runes needed to get both the
linting pre-requisites (the "[devel]" part), and the editable
live-install (the "-e" part) of these python libraries.
make clean: delete miscellaneous python packaging output possibly
created by pipenv, pip, or other python packaging utilities
make distclean: delete the above, the .venv, and the editable "qemu"
package forwarder (qemu.egg-info) if there is one.

Try using avocado to manage our various tests; even though right now
they're only invoking shell scripts and not really running any
python-native code.
Create tests/, and add shell scripts which call out to mypy, flake8,
pylint and isort to enforce the standards in this directory.
Add avocado-framework to the setup.cfg development dependencies, and add
avocado.cfg to store some preferences for how we'd like the test output
to look.
Finally, add avocado-framework to the Pipfile environment and lock the
new dependencies. We are using avocado >= 87.0 here to take advantage of
some features that Cleber has helpfully added to make the test output
here *very* friendly and easy to read for developers that might chance
upon the output in Gitlab CI.
[Note: ALL of the dependencies get updated to the most modern versions
that exist at the time of this writing. No way around it that I have
seen. Not ideal, but so it goes.]
Provided you have the right development dependencies (mypy, flake8,
isort, pylint, and now avocado-framework) You should be able to run
"avocado --config avocado.cfg run tests/" from the python folder to run
all of these linters with the correct arguments.
(A forthcoming commit adds the much easier 'make check'.)

setuptools doesn't have a formal understanding of development requires,
but it has an optional feataures section. Fine; add a "devel" feature
and add the requirements to it.
To avoid duplication, we can modify pipenv to install qemu[devel]
instead. This enables us to run invocations like "pip install -e
.[devel]" and test the package on bleeding-edge packages beyond those
specified in Pipfile.lock.
Importantly, this also allows us to install the qemu development
packages in a non-networked mode: `pip3 install --no-index -e .[devel]`
will now fail if the proper development dependencies are not already
met. This can be useful for automated build scripts where fetching
network packages may be undesirable.

pipenv is a tool used for managing virtual environments with pinned,
explicit dependencies. It is used for precisely recreating python
virtual environments.
pipenv uses two files to do this:
(1) Pipfile, which is similar in purpose and scope to what setup.cfg
lists. It specifies the requisite minimum to get a functional
environment for using this package.
(2) Pipfile.lock, which is similar in purpose to `pip freeze >
requirements.txt`. It specifies a canonical virtual environment used for
deployment or testing. This ensures that all users have repeatable
results.
The primary benefit of using this tool is to ensure *rock solid*
repeatable CI results with a known set of packages. Although I endeavor
to support as many versions as I can, the fluid nature of the Python
toolchain often means tailoring code for fairly specific versions.
Note that pipenv is *not* required to install or use this module; this is
purely for the sake of repeatable testing by CI or developers.
Here, a "blank" pipfile is added with no dependencies, but specifies
Python 3.6 for the virtual environment.
Pipfile will specify our version minimums, while Pipfile.lock specifies
an exact loadout of packages that were known to operate correctly. This
latter file provides the real value for easy setup of container images
and CI environments.

When creating a source or binary distribution via 'python3 setup.py
<sdist|bdist>', the VERSION and PACKAGE.rst files aren't bundled by
default. Create a MANIFEST.in file that instructs the build tools to
include these so that installation from these files won't fail.
This is required by 'tox', as well as by the tooling needed to upload
packages to PyPI.
Exclude the 'README.rst' file -- that's intended as a guidebook to our
source tree, not a file that needs to be distributed.

Add short readmes to python/, python/qemu/, python/qemu/machine,
python/qemu/qmp, and python/qemu/utils that explain the directory
hierarchy. These readmes are visible when browsing the source on
e.g. gitlab/github and are designed to help new developers/users quickly
make sense of the source tree.
They are not designed for inclusion in a published manual.
