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.

fda72ab451 qapi: Fix error handling code on alternate conflict
The conflict check added by commit c0644771 ("qapi: Reject
alternates that can't work with keyval_parse()") doesn't work
with the following declaration:

  { 'alternate': 'Alt',
    'data': { 'one': 'bool',
              'two': 'str' } }

It crashes with:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "./scripts/qapi-types.py", line 295, in <module>
      schema = QAPISchema(input_file)
    File "/home/ehabkost/rh/proj/virt/qemu/scripts/qapi.py", line 1468, in __init__
      self.exprs = check_exprs(parser.exprs)
    File "/home/ehabkost/rh/proj/virt/qemu/scripts/qapi.py", line 958, in check_exprs
      check_alternate(expr, info)
    File "/home/ehabkost/rh/proj/virt/qemu/scripts/qapi.py", line 830, in check_alternate
      % (name, key, types_seen[qtype]))
  KeyError: 'QTYPE_QSTRING'

This happens because the previously-seen conflicting member
('one') can't be found at types_seen[qtype], but at
types_seen['QTYPE_BOOL'].

Fix the bug by moving the error check to the same loop that adds
new items to types_seen, raising an exception if types_seen[qt]
is already set.

Add two additional test cases that can detect the bug.
