The JSON parser has three public headers, json-lexer.h, json-parser.h,
json-streamer.h. They all contain stuff that is of no interest
outside qobject/json-*.c.
Collect the public interface in include/qapi/qmp/json-parser.h, and
everything else in qobject/json-parser-int.h.

Token count and size limits exist to guard against excessive heap
usage. We check them only after we created the token on the heap.
That's assigning a cowboy to the barn to lasso the horse after it has
bolted. Close the barn door instead: check before we create the
token.

json_message_process_token() accumulates tokens until it got the
sequence of tokens that comprise a single JSON value (it counts curly
braces and square brackets to decide). It feeds those token sequences
to json_parser_parse(). If a non-empty sequence of tokens remains at
the end of the parse, it's silently ignored. check-qjson.c cases
unterminated_array(), unterminated_array_comma(), unterminated_dict(),
unterminated_dict_comma() demonstrate this bug.
Fix as follows. Introduce a JSON_END_OF_INPUT token. When the
streamer receives it, it feeds the accumulated tokens to
json_parser_parse().

The callback to consume JSON values takes QObject *json, Error *err.
If both are null, the callback is supposed to make up an error by
itself. This sucks.
qjson.c's consume_json() neglects to do so, which makes
qobject_from_json() null instead of failing. I consider that a bug.
The culprit is json_message_process_token(): it passes two null
pointers when it runs into a lexical error or a limit violation. Fix
it to pass a proper Error object then. Update the callbacks:
* monitor.c's handle_qmp_command(): the code to make up an error is
now dead, drop it.
* qga/main.c's process_event(): lumps the "both null" case together
with the "not a JSON object" case. The former is now gone. The
error message "Invalid JSON syntax" is misleading for the latter.
Improve it to "Input must be a JSON object".
* qobject/qjson.c's consume_json(): no update; check-qjson
demonstrates qobject_from_json() now sets an error on lexical
errors, but still doesn't on some other errors.
* tests/libqtest.c's qmp_response(): the Error object is now reliable,
so use it to improve the error message.

The JSON parser optionally supports interpolation. The lexer
recognizes interpolation tokens unconditionally. The parser rejects
them when interpolation is disabled, in parse_interpolation().
However, it neglects to set an error then, which can make
json_parser_parse() fail without setting an error.
Move the check for unwanted interpolation from the parser's
parse_interpolation() into the lexer's finite state machine. When
interpolation is disabled, '%' is now handled like any other
unexpected character.
The next commit will improve how such lexical errors are handled.

json_parser_parse() normally returns the QObject on success. Except
it returns null when its @tokens argument is null.
Its only caller json_message_process_token() passes null @tokens when
emitting a lexical error. The call is a rather opaque way to say json
= NULL then.
Simplify matters by lifting the assignment to json out of the emit
path: initialize json to null, set it to the value of
json_parser_parse() when there's no lexical error. Drop the special
case from json_parser_parse().

The classical way to structure parser and lexer is to have the client
call the parser to get an abstract syntax tree, the parser call the
lexer to get the next token, and the lexer call some function to get
input characters.
Another way to structure them would be to have the client feed
characters to the lexer, the lexer feed tokens to the parser, and the
parser feed abstract syntax trees to some callback provided by the
client. This way is more easily integrated into an event loop that
dispatches input characters as they arrive.
Our JSON parser is kind of between the two. The lexer feeds tokens to
a "streamer" instead of a real parser. The streamer accumulates
tokens until it got the sequence of tokens that comprise a single JSON
value (it counts curly braces and square brackets to decide). It
feeds those token sequences to a callback provided by the client. The
callback passes each token sequence to the parser, and gets back an
abstract syntax tree.
I figure it was done that way to make a straightforward recursive
descent parser possible. "Get next token" becomes "pop the first
token off the token sequence". Drawback: we need to store a complete
token sequence. Each token eats 13 + input characters + malloc
overhead bytes.
Observations:
1. This is not the only way to use recursive descent. If we replaced
"get next token" by a coroutine yield, we could do without a
streamer.
2. The lexer reports errors by passing a JSON_ERROR token to the
streamer. This communicates the offending input characters and
their location, but no more.
3. The streamer reports errors by passing a null token sequence to the
callback. The (already poor) lexical error information is thrown
away.
4. Having the callback receive a token sequence duplicates the code to
convert token sequence to abstract syntax tree in every callback.
5. Known bug: the streamer silently drops incomplete token sequences.
This commit rectifies 4. by lifting the call of the parser from the
callbacks into the streamer. Later commits will address 3. and 5.
The lifting removes a bug from qjson.c's parse_json(): it passed a
pointer to a non-null Error * in certain cases, as demonstrated by
check-qjson.c.
json_parser_parse() is now unused. It's a stupid wrapper around
json_parser_parse_err(). Drop it, and rename json_parser_parse_err()
to json_parser_parse().

Now that json-streamer tries not to leak tokens on incomplete parse,
the tokens can be freed twice if QEMU destroys the json-streamer
object during the parser->emit call. To fix this, create the new
empty GQueue earlier, so that it is already in place when the old
one is passed to parser->emit.

Valgrind complained about a number of leaks in
tests/check-qobject-json:
==12657== definitely lost: 17,247 bytes in 1,234 blocks
All of which had the same root cause: on an incomplete parse,
we were abandoning the token queue without cleaning up the
allocated data within each queue element. Introduced in
commit 95385fe, when we switched from QList (which recursively
frees contents) to g_queue (which does not).
We don't yet require glib 2.32 with its g_queue_free_full(),
so open-code it instead.

Commit 29c75dd "json-streamer: limit the maximum recursion depth and
maximum token count" attempts to guard against excessive heap usage by
limiting total token size (it says "token count", but that's a lie).
Total token size is a rather imprecise predictor of heap usage: many
small tokens use more space than few large tokens with the same input
size, because there's a constant per-token overhead: 37 bytes on my
system.
Tighten this up: limit the token count to 2Mi. Chosen to roughly
match the 64MiB total token size limit.

Replace the contents of the tokens GQueue with a simple struct. This cuts
the amount of memory allocated by tests/check-qjson from ~500MB to ~20MB,
and the execution time from 600ms to 80ms on my laptop. Still a lot (some
could be saved by using an intrusive list, such as QSIMPLEQ, instead of
the GQueue), but the savings are already massive and the right thing to
do would probably be to get rid of json-streamer completely.
