Markus Armbruster 2ab218aad6 qapi: Change frontend error messages to start with lower case
Starting error messages with a capital letter complicates things when
text can get interpolated both at the beginning and in the middle of
an error message.  The next patch will do that.  Switch to lower case
to keep it simpler.

For what it's worth, the GNU Coding Standards advise the message
"should not begin with a capital letter when it follows a program name
and/or file name, because that isn’t the beginning of a sentence. (The
sentence conceptually starts at the beginning of the line.)"

While there, avoid breaking lines containing multiple arguments in the
middle of an argument.

Eric Blake 7408fb67c0 qapi: Improve 'include' error message
Use of '"...%s" % include' to print non-strings can lead to
ugly messages, such as this (if the .json change is applied
without the qapi.py change):
 Expected a file name (string), got: OrderedDict()

Better is to just omit the actual non-string value in the
message.

Lluís Vilanova a719a27c82 qapi: Add a primitive to include other files from a QAPI schema file
The primitive uses JSON syntax, and include paths are relative to the file using the directive:

  { 'include': 'path/to/file.json' }
