We have two JSON writers written in C: qobject/qjson.c provides
qobject_to_json(), and migration/qjson.c provides a more low level
imperative interface. They don't share code. The latter tacitly
limits numbers to int64_t, and strings contents to characters that
don't need escaping.
Factor out qobject_to_json()'s JSON writer as qobject/json-writer.c.
Straightforward, except for numbers: since the writer is to be
independent of QObject, it can't use qnum_to_string(). Open-code it
instead. This is actually an improvement of sorts, because it
liberates qnum_to_string() from JSON's needs: its JSON-related FIXMEs
move to the JSON writer, where they belong.
The next commit will replace migration/qjson.c.

qobject_to_json() and qobject_to_json_pretty() build a GString, then
covert it to QString. Just one of the callers actually needs a
QString: qemu_rbd_parse_filename(). A few others need a string they
can modify: qmp_send_response(), qga's send_response(), to_json_str(),
and qmp_fd_vsend_fds(). The remainder just need a string.
Change qobject_to_json() and qobject_to_json_pretty() to return the
GString.
qemu_rbd_parse_filename() now has to convert to QString. All others
save a QString temporary. to_json_str() actually becomes a bit
simpler, because GString provides more convenient modification
functions.

QString supports modifying its string, but it's quite limited: you can
only append. The remaining callers use it for building an initial
string, never for modifying it later.
Use of GString for building the initial string is actually more
convenient here. Change qobject_to_json() & friends to do that.
Once all such uses are replaced this way, QString can become immutable.

qobject_from_json() & friends use the consume_json() callback to
receive either a value or an error from the parser.
When they are fed a string that contains more than either one JSON
value or one JSON syntax error, consume_json() gets called multiple
times.
When the last call receives a value, qobject_from_json() returns that
value. Any other values are leaked.
When any call receives an error, qobject_from_json() sets the first
error received. Any other errors are thrown away.
When values follow errors, qobject_from_json() returns both a value
and sets an error. That's bad. Impact:
* block.c's parse_json_protocol() ignores and leaks the value. It's
used to to parse pseudo-filenames starting with "json:". The
pseudo-filenames can come from the user or from image meta-data such
as a QCOW2 image's backing file name.
* vl.c's parse_display_qapi() ignores and leaks the error. It's used
to parse the argument of command line option -display.
* vl.c's main() case QEMU_OPTION_blockdev ignores the error and leaves
it in @err. main() will then pass a pointer to a non-null Error *
to net_init_clients(), which is forbidden. It can lead to assertion
failure or other misbehavior.
* check-qjson.c's multiple_values() demonstrates the badness.
* The other callers are not affected since they only pass strings with
exactly one JSON value or, in the case of negative tests, one
error.
The impact on the _nofail() functions is relatively harmless. They
abort when any call receives an error. Else they return the last
value, and leak the others, if any.
Fix consume_json() as follows. On the first call, save value and
error as before. On subsequent calls, if any, don't save them. If
the first call saved a value, the next call, if any, replaces the
value by an "Expecting at most one JSON value" error. Take care not
to leak values or errors that aren't saved.

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().
