response of commands.
I intend to generate better command success response documentation.
Easier when "Returns" documents just he success response.

QAPIDoc stores a reference to QAPIParser just to pass it to
QAPIParseError. The resulting error position depends on the state of
the parser. It happens to be the current comment line. Servicable,
but action at a distance.
The commit before previous moved most uses of QAPIParseError from
QAPIDoc to QAPIParser. There are just three left. Convert them to
QAPISemError. This involves passing info to a few methods. Then drop
the reference to QAPIParser.
The three errors lose the column number. Not really interesting here:
it's the comment line's indentation.

The parser recognizes only the first "Features:" line. Any subsequent
ones are treated as ordinary text, as visible in test case
doc-duplicate-features. Recognize "Features:" lines anywhere. A
second one is an error.
A 'Features:' line without any features is useless, but not an error.
Make it an error. This makes detecting a second "Features:" line
easier.

QAPISchemaParser is a conventional recursive descent parser. Except
QAPISchemaParser.get_doc() delegates most of the doc comment parsing
work to a state machine in QAPIDoc. The state machine doesn't get
tokens like a recursive descent parser, it is fed tokens.
I find this state machine rather opaque and hard to maintain.
Replace it by a conventional parser, all in QAPISchemaParser. Less
code, and (at least in my opinion) easier to understand.

support 3.9):
openSUSE Leap 15.5: 3.6.15 (3.11.2)
CentOS Stream 8: 3.6.8 (3.8.13, 3.9.16, 3.11.4)

Fedora 37: 3.11.4
Fedora 38: 3.11.4
Debian 11: 3.9.2

FreeBSD 12.4: 3.9.16
FreeBSD 13.1: 3.9.18
OpenBSD 7.2: 3.9.17
Note: NetBSD does not appear to have a default meta-package, but offers
several options, the lowest of which is 3.7.15. However, "python39"
appears to be a pre-requisite to one of the other packages we request
in tests/vm/netbsd.
Since it is safe under our supported platform policy, bump our
minimum supported version of Python to 3.8. The two most interesting
features to have by default include:
- the importlib.metadata module, whose lack is responsible for over 100
lines of code in mkvenv.py
- improvements to asyncio, for example asyncio.CancelledError
inherits from BaseException rather than Exception
In addition, code can now use the assignment operator ':='
Because mypy now learns about importlib.metadata, a small change to
mkvenv.py is needed to pass type checking.

[Conflict with commit 3e32dca3f0 resolved]
Python 3.6 was EOL 2021-12-31. Newer versions of upstream libraries have
begun dropping support for this version and it is becoming more
cumbersome to support. Avocado-framework and qemu.qmp each have their
own reasons for wanting to drop Python 3.6, but won't until QEMU does.
Versions of Python available in our supported build platforms as of today,
with optional versions available in parentheses:
openSUSE Leap 15.4: 3.6.15 (3.9.10, 3.10.2)
CentOS Stream 8: 3.6.8 (3.8.13, 3.9.16)
CentOS Stream 9: 3.9.13
Fedora 36: 3.10
Fedora 37: 3.11
Debian 11: 3.9.2

Alpine 3.16, 3.17: 3.10.10
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: 3.8.10
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: 3.10.4
NetBSD 9.3: 3.9.13*
FreeBSD 12.4: 3.9.16
FreeBSD 13.1: 3.9.16
OpenBSD 7.2: 3.9.16
Note: Our VM tests install 3.9 explicitly for FreeBSD and 3.10 for
NetBSD; the default for "python" or "python3" in FreeBSD is
3.9.16. NetBSD does not appear to have a default meta-package, but
offers several options, the lowest of which is 3.7.15. "python39"
appears to be a pre-requisite to one of the other packages we request in
tests/vm/netbsd. pip, ensurepip and other Python essentials are
currently only available for Python 3.10 for NetBSD.
CentOS and OpenSUSE support parallel installation of multiple Python
interpreters, and binaries in /usr/bin will always use Python 3.6. However,
the newly introduced support for virtual environments ensures that all build
steps that execute QEMU Python code use a single interpreter.
Since it is safe to under our supported platform policy, bump our
minimum supported version of Python to 3.7.

The QAPI schema doc comment language provides special syntax for
command and event arguments, struct and union members, alternate
branches, enumeration values, and features: descriptions starting with
"@name:".
By convention, we format them like this:
# @name: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit,
# sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore
# magna aliqua.
Okay for names as short as "name", but we have much longer ones. Their
description gets squeezed against the right margin, like this:
# @dirty-sync-missed-zero-copy: Number of times dirty RAM synchronization could
# not avoid copying dirty pages. This is between
# 0 and @dirty-sync-count * @multifd-channels.
# (since 7.1)
The description text is effectively just 50 characters wide. Easy
enough to read, but can be cumbersome to write.
The awkward squeeze against the right margin makes people go beyond it,
which produces two undesirables: arguments about style, and descriptions
that are unnecessarily hard to read, like this one:
# @postcopy-vcpu-blocktime: list of the postcopy blocktime per vCPU. This is
# only present when the postcopy-blocktime migration capability
# is enabled. (Since 3.0)
We could instead format it like
# @postcopy-vcpu-blocktime:
# list of the postcopy blocktime per vCPU. This is only present
# when the postcopy-blocktime migration capability is
# enabled. (Since 3.0)
or, since the commit before previous, like
# @postcopy-vcpu-blocktime:
# list of the postcopy blocktime per vCPU. This is only present
# when the postcopy-blocktime migration capability is
# enabled. (Since 3.0)
However, I'd rather have
# @postcopy-vcpu-blocktime: list of the postcopy blocktime per vCPU.
# This is only present when the postcopy-blocktime migration
# capability is enabled. (Since 3.0)
because this is how rST field and option lists work.
To get this, we need to let the first non-blank line after the
"@name:" line determine expected indentation.
This fills up the indentation pitfall mentioned in
docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.rst. A related pitfall still exists. Update
the text to show it.

Error messages describe object members, enumeration values, features,
and variants like ROLE 'NAME', where ROLE is "member", "value",
"feature", or "branch", respectively. When the member is defined in
another type, e.g. inherited from a base type, we add "of type
'TYPE'". Example: test case struct-base-clash-deep reports a member
of type 'Sub' clashing with a member of its base type 'Base' as
struct-base-clash-deep.json: In struct 'Sub':
struct-base-clash-deep.json:10: member 'name' collides with member 'name' of type 'Base'
Members of implicitly defined types need special treatment. We don't
want to add "of type 'TYPE'" for them, because their named are made up
and mean nothing to the user. Instead, we describe members of an
implicitly defined base type as "base member 'NAME'", and command and
event parameters as "parameter 'NAME'". Example: test case
union-bad-base reports member of a variant's type clashing with a
member of its implicitly defined base type as
union-bad-base.json: In union 'TestUnion':
union-bad-base.json:8: member 'string' of type 'TestTypeA' collides with base member 'string'
The next commit will permit unions as variant types. "base member
'NAME' would then be ambigious: is it the union's base, or is it the
union's variant's base? One of its test cases would report a clash
between two such bases as "base member 'type' collides with base
member 'type'". Confusing.
Refine the special treatment: add "of TYPE" even for implicitly
defined types, but massage TYPE and ROLE so they make sense for the
user.

Commit 2cae67bcb5 (qapi: Use super() now we have Python 3) converted
the code to super(). Shortly after, commit f965e8fea6 (qapi: New
special feature flag "deprecated") neglected to use super(). Convert
it now.

Commit 52a474180a changed reporting of errors connected to a source
location without mentioning it in the commit message. For instance,
$ python scripts/qapi-gen.py tests/qapi-schema/unknown-escape.json
tests/qapi-schema/unknown-escape.json:3:21: unknown escape \x
became
scripts/qapi-gen.py: tests/qapi-schema/unknown-escape.json:3:21: unknown escape \x
This is not how compilers report such errors, and Emacs doesn't
recognize the format. Revert this change.

Coroutine commands have to be declared as coroutine_fn, but the
marker does not show up in the qapi-comands-* headers; likewise, the
marshaling function calls the command and therefore must be coroutine_fn.
Static analysis would want coroutine_fn to match between prototype and
declaration, because in principle coroutines might be compiled to a
completely different calling convention. So we would like to add the
marker to the header.

With the two major JSON-ish type hierarchies clarified for distinct
purposes; QAPIExpression for parsed expressions and JSONValue for
introspection data, remove this FIXME as no longer an action item.
A third JSON-y data type, _ExprValue, is not meant to represent JSON in
the abstract but rather only the possible legal return values from a
single function, get_expr(). It isn't appropriate to attempt to merge it
with either of the above two types.
In theory, it may be possible to define a completely agnostic
one-size-fits-all JSON type hierarchy that any other user could borrow -
in practice, it's tough to wrangle the differences between invariant,
covariant and contravariant types: input and output parameters demand
different properties of such a structure.
However, QAPIExpression serves to authoritatively type user input to the
QAPI parser, while JSONValue serves to authoritatively type qapi
generator *output* to be served back to client users at runtime via
QMP. The AST for these two types are different and cannot be wholly
merged into a unified syntax.
They could, in theory, share some JSON primitive definitions. In
practice, this is currently more trouble than it's worth with mypy's
current expressive power. As such, declare this "done enough for now".

This patch creates a new type, QAPIExpression, which represents a parsed
expression complete with QAPIDoc and QAPISourceInfo.
This patch turns parser.exprs into a list of QAPIExpression instead,
and adjusts expr.py to match.
This allows the types we specify in parser.py to be "remembered" all the
way through expr.py and into schema.py. Several assertions around
packing and unpacking this data can be removed as a result.
It also corrects a harmless typing error. Before the patch,
check_exprs() allegedly takes a List[_JSONObject]. It actually takes
a list of dicts of the form
{'expr': E, 'info': I, 'doc': D}
where E is of type _ExprValue, I is of type QAPISourceInfo, and D is
of type QAPIDoc. Key 'doc' is optional. This is not a _JSONObject!
Passes type checking anyway, because _JSONObject is Dict[str, object].

[Commit message amended to point out the typing fix]
Pylint under 3.6 does not believe that Collection is subscriptable at
runtime. It is, making this a Pylint
bug. https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/2377
They closed it as fixed, but that doesn't seem to be true as of Pylint
2.13.9, the latest version you can install under Python 3.6. 2.13.9 was
released 2022-05-13, about seven months after the bug was closed.
The least-annoying fix here is to just use the concret type.

Newer versions of pylint disable the "no-self-use" message by
default. Older versions don't, though. If we leave the suppressions in,
pylint yelps about useless options. Just tell pylint to shush.
