Instead of recommending checking the TRACE_FOO_ENABLED macro to
skip expensive computations needed only for tracing, recommend
only using trace_event_get_state_backends(). This works for both
compile-time and run-time disabling of events, and has no extra
performance impact if the event is compile-time disabled.

By default VM build test use qemu-img from system's PATH to
create the image disk. Due the lack of qemu-img on the system
or the desire to simply use a version built with QEMU, it would
be nice to allow one to set its path. So this patch makes that
possible by reading the path to qemu-img from QEMU_IMG if set,
otherwise it fallback to default behavior.

We represent the parse tree as OrderedDict. We fetch optional dict

We represent null literals as None. .get() returns None both for
"absent" and for "present, value is the null literal". Uh-oh.
Test features-if-invalid exposes this bug: "'if': null" is
misinterpreted as absent "if".
We added null to the schema language to "allow [...] an explicit
default value" (commit e53188ada5 "qapi: Allow true, false and null in
schema json", v2.4.0). Hasn't happened; null is still unused except
as generic invalid value in tests/.
To fix, we'd have to replace .get() by something more careful, or
represent null differently. Feasible, but we got more and bigger fish
to fry right now. Remove the null literal from the schema language.
Replace null in tests by another invalid value.
Test features-if-invalid now behaves as it should.

"Configuring the schema" for details.
We talk about "(top-level) expressions other than include and pragma".
Adopt more convenient terminology: a (top-level) expression is either
a directive (include or pragma) or a definition (anything else).

Commands and events can define their argument type inline (default) or
by referring to another type ('boxed': true, since commit c818408e44
"qapi: Implement boxed types for commands/events", v2.7.0). The
unboxed inline definition is an (anonymous) struct type. The boxed
type may be a struct, union, or alternate type.
The latter is problematic: docs/interop/qemu-spec.txt requires the
value of the 'data' key to be a json-object, but any non-degenerate
alternate type has at least one branch that isn't.
Fortunately, we haven't made use of alternates in this context outside

Sometimes, the behaviour of QEMU changes without a change in the QMP
syntax (usually by allowing values or operations that previously
resulted in an error). QMP clients may still need to know whether
they can rely on the changed behavior.
Let's add feature flags to the QAPI schema language, so that we can make
such changes visible with schema introspection.
An example for a schema definition using feature flags looks like this:
{ 'struct': 'TestType',
'data': { 'number': 'int' },
'features': [ 'allow-negative-numbers' ] }
Introspection information then looks like this:
{ "name": "TestType", "meta-type": "object",
"members": [
{ "name": "number", "type": "int" } ],
"features": [ "allow-negative-numbers" ] }
This patch implements feature flags only for struct types. We'll
implement them more widely as needed.

A test can, optionally, be tagged for one or many architectures. If a
test has been tagged for a single architecture, there's a high chance
that the test won't run on other architectures. This changes the
default order of choosing a default target architecture to use based
on the 'arch' tag value first.
The precedence order is for choosing a QEMU binary to use for a test
is now:
* qemu_bin parameter
* arch parameter
* arch tag value (for example, x86_64 if "🥑 tags=arch:x86_64
is used)
This means that if one runs:
$ avocado run -p qemu_bin=/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 test.py
No arch parameter or tag will influence the selection of the QEMU
target binary. If one runs:
$ avocado run -p arch=ppc64 test.py
The target binary selection mechanism will attempt to find a binary
such as "ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64". And finally, if one runs
a test that is tagged (in its docstring) with "arch:aarch64":
$ avocado run aarch64.py
The target binary selection mechanism will attempt to find a binary
such as "aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64".
At this time, no provision is made to cancel the execution of tests if
the arch parameter given (manually) does not match the test "arch"
tag, but it may be a useful default behavior to be added in the
future.

It's useful to define the architecture that should be used in
situations such as:
* the intended target of the QEMU binary to be used on tests
* the architecture of code to be run within the QEMU binary, such
as a kernel image or a full blown guest OS image
This commit introduces both a test parameter and a test instance
attribute, that will contain such a value.
Now, when the "arch" test parameter is given, it will influence the
selection of the default QEMU binary, if one is not given explicitly
by means of the "qemu_img" parameter.
