76432d988b tests/qapi-schema: Purge simple unions from tests
Drop tests that are specifically about simple unions:

* SugaredUnion in doc-good: flat unions are covered by @Object.

* union-branch-case and union-clash-branches: branch naming for flat
  unions is enforced for the tag enum instead, which is covered by
  enum-member-case and enum-clash-member.

* union-empty: empty flat unions are covered by flat-union-empty.

Rewrite the remainder to use flat unions: args-union, bad-base,
flat-union-base-union, union-branch-invalid-dict, union-unknown.

Except drop union-optional-branch. because converting this one is not
worth the trouble; we don't explicitly check names beginning with '*'
in other places, either.

f01338cce6 qapi: Speed up frontend tests
"make check-qapi-schema" takes around 10s user + system time for me.
With -j, it takes a bit over 3s real time.  We have worse tests.  It's
still annoying when you work on the QAPI generator.

Some 1.4s user + system time is consumed by make figuring out what to
do, measured by making a target that does nothing.  There's nothing I
can do about that right now.  But let's see what we can do about the
other 8s.

Almost 7s are spent running test-qapi.py for every test case, the rest
normalizing and diffing test-qapi.py output.  We have 190 test cases.

If I downgrade to python2, it's 4.5s, but python2 is a goner.

Hacking up test-qapi.py to exit(0) without doing anything makes it
only marginally faster.  The problem is Python startup overhead.

Our configure puts -B into $(PYTHON).  Running without -B is faster:
4.4s.

We could improve the Makefile to run test cases only when the test
case or the generator changed.  But I'm after improvement in the case
where the generator changed.

test-qapi.py is designed to be the simplest possible building block
for a shell script to do the complete job (it's actually a Makefile,
not a shell script; no real difference).  Python is just not meant for
that.  It's for bigger blocks.

Move the post-processing and diffing into test-qapi.py, and make it
capable of testing multiple schema files.  Set executable bits while
there.

Running it once per test case now takes slightly longer than 8s.  But
running it once for all of them takes under 0.2s.

Messing with the Makefile to run it only on the tests that need
retesting is clearly not worth the bother.

Expected error output changes because the new normalization strips off
$(SRCDIR)/tests/qapi-schema/ instead of just $(SRCDIR)/.

The .exit files go away, because there is no exit status to test
anymore.

fa110c6a9e qapi: Move context-sensitive checking to the proper place
When we introduced the QAPISchema intermediate representation (commit
ac88219a6c), we took a shortcut: we left check_exprs() & friends
alone instead of moving semantic checks into the
QAPISchemaFOO.check().  The .check() assert check_exprs() did its job.

Time to finish the conversion job.  Move exactly the context-sensitive
checks to the .check().  They replace assertions there.  Context-free
checks stay put.

Fixes the misleading optional tag error demonstrated by test
flat-union-optional-discriminator.

A few other error message improve.

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.

7be6c51194 qapi: Prefix frontend errors with an "in definition" line
We take pains to include the offending expression in error messages,
e.g.

    tests/qapi-schema/alternate-any.json:2: alternate 'Alt' member 'one' cannot use type 'any'

But not always:

    tests/qapi-schema/enum-if-invalid.json:2: 'if' condition must be a string or a list of strings

Instead of improving them one by one, report the offending expression
whenever it is known, like this:

    tests/qapi-schema/enum-if-invalid.json: In enum 'TestIfEnum':
    tests/qapi-schema/enum-if-invalid.json:2: 'if' condition must be a string or a list of strings

Error messages that mention the offending expression become a bit
redundant, e.g.

    tests/qapi-schema/alternate-any.json: In alternate 'Alt':
    tests/qapi-schema/alternate-any.json:2: alternate 'Alt' member 'one' cannot use type 'any'

I'll take care of that later in this series.

87c16dceca qapi: Back out doc comments added just to please qapi.py
This reverts commit 3313b61's changes to tests/qapi-schema/, except
for tests/qapi-schema/doc-*.

We could keep some of these doc comments to serve as positive test
cases.  However, they don't actually add to what we get from doc
comment use in actual schemas, as we we don't test output matches
expectations, and don't systematically cover doc comment features.
Proper positive test coverage would be nice.

3313b6124b qapi: add qapi2texi script
As the name suggests, the qapi2texi script converts JSON QAPI
description into a texi file suitable for different target
formats (info/man/txt/pdf/html...).

It parses the following kind of blocks:

Free-form:

  ##
  # = Section
  # == Subsection
  #
  # Some text foo with *emphasis*
  # 1. with a list
  # 2. like that
  #
  # And some code:
  # | $ echo foo
  # | -> do this
  # | <- get that
  #
  ##

Symbol description:

  ##
  # @symbol:
  #
  # Symbol body ditto ergo sum. Foo bar
  # baz ding.
  #
  # @param1: the frob to frobnicate
  # @param2: #optional how hard to frobnicate
  #
  # Returns: the frobnicated frob.
  #          If frob isn't frobnicatable, GenericError.
  #
  # Since: version
  # Notes: notes, comments can have
  #        - itemized list
  #        - like this
  #
  # Example:
  #
  # -> { "execute": "quit" }
  # <- { "return": {} }
  #
  ##

That's roughly following the following EBNF grammar:

api_comment = "##\n" comment "##\n"
comment = freeform_comment | symbol_comment
freeform_comment = { "# " text "\n" | "#\n" }
symbol_comment = "# @" name ":\n" { member | tag_section | freeform_comment }
member = "# @" name ':' [ text ] "\n" freeform_comment
tag_section = "# " ( "Returns:", "Since:", "Note:", "Notes:", "Example:", "Examples:" ) [ text ]  "\n" freeform_comment
text = free text with markup

Note that the grammar is ambiguous: a line "# @foo:\n" can be parsed
both as freeform_comment and as symbol_comment.  The actual parser
recognizes symbol_comment.

See docs/qapi-code-gen.txt for more details.

Deficiencies and limitations:
- the generated QMP documentation includes internal types
- union type support is lacking
- type information is lacking in generated documentation
- doc comment error message positions are imprecise, they point
  to the beginning of the comment.
- a few minor issues, all marked TODO/FIXME in the code

dd883c6f05 qapi: More rigourous checking of types
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.

3d0c482926 qapi: Add some union tests
Demonstrate that the qapi generator doesn't deal well with unions
that aren't up to par. Later patches will update the expected
reseults as the generator is made stricter.  A few tests work
as planned, but most show poor or missing error messages.

Of particular note, qapi-code-gen.txt documents 'base' only for
flat unions, but the tests here demonstrate that we currently allow
a 'base' to a simple union, although it is exercised only in the
testsuite.  Later patches will remove this undocumented feature, to
give us more flexibility in adding other future extensions to union
types.  For example, one possible extension is the idea of a
type-safe simple enum, where added fields tie the discriminator to
a user-defined enum type rather than creating an implicit enum from
the names in 'data'.  But adding such safety on top of a simple
enum with a base type could look ambiguous with a flat enum;
besides, the documentation also mentions how any simple union can
be represented by an equivalent flat union.  So it will be simpler
to just outlaw support for something we aren't using.
