qapi: Document visitor interfaces, add assertions
The visitor interface for mapping between QObject/QemuOpts/string
and QAPI is scandalously under-documented, making changes to visitor
core, individual visitors, and users of visitors difficult to
coordinate. Among other questions: when is it safe to pass NULL,
vs. when a string must be provided; which visitors implement which
callbacks; the difference between concrete and virtual visits.
Correct this by retrofitting proper contracts, and document where some
of the interface warts remain (for example, we may want to modify
visit_end_* to require the same 'obj' as the visit_start counterpart,
so the dealloc visitor can be simplified). Later patches in this
series will tackle some, but not all, of these warts.
Add assertions to (partially) enforce the contract. Some of these
were only made possible by recent cleanup commits.

qapi: Adjust layout of FooList types
By sticking the next pointer first, we don't need a union with
64-bit padding for smaller types. On 32-bit platforms, this
can reduce the size of uint8List from 16 bytes (or 12, depending
on whether 64-bit ints can tolerate 4-byte alignment) down to 8.
It has no effect on 64-bit platforms (where alignment still
dictates a 16-byte struct); but fewer anonymous unions is still
a win in my book.
It requires visit_next_list() to gain a size parameter, to know
what size element to allocate; comparable to the size parameter
of visit_start_struct().
I debated about going one step further, to allow for fewer casts,
by doing:
typedef GenericList GenericList;
struct GenericList {
GenericList *next;
};
struct FooList {
GenericList base;
Foo *value;
};
so that you convert to 'GenericList *' by '&foolist->base', and
back by 'container_of(generic, GenericList, base)' (as opposed to
the existing '(GenericList *)foolist' and '(FooList *)generic').
But doing that would require hoisting the declaration of
GenericList prior to inclusion of qapi-types.h, rather than its
current spot in visitor.h; it also makes iteration a bit more
verbose through 'foolist->base.next' instead of 'foolist->next'.
Note that for lists of objects, the 'value' payload is still
hidden behind a boxed pointer. Someday, it would be nice to do:
struct FooList {
FooList *next;
Foo value;
};
for one less level of malloc for each list element. This patch
is a step in that direction (now that 'next' is no longer at a
fixed non-zero offset within the struct, we can store more than
just a pointer's-worth of data as the value payload), but the
actual conversion would be a task for another series, as it will
touch a lot of code.

qapi: Change visit_start_implicit_struct to visit_start_alternate
After recent changes, the only remaining use of
visit_start_implicit_struct() is for allocating the space needed
when visiting an alternate. Since the term 'implicit struct' is
hard to explain, rename the function to its current usage. While
at it, we can merge the functionality of visit_get_next_type()
into the same function, making it more like visit_start_struct().
Generated code is now slightly smaller:
| {
| Error *err = NULL;
|
|- visit_start_implicit_struct(v, (void**) obj, sizeof(BlockdevRef), &err);
|+ visit_start_alternate(v, name, (GenericAlternate **)obj, sizeof(**obj),

void (*type_int64)(Visitor *v, const char *name, int64_t *obj,
|
qapi: Prefer type_int64 over type_int in visitors
The qapi builtin type 'int' is basically shorthand for the type
'int64'. In fact, since no visitor was providing the optional
type_int64() callback, visit_type_int64() was just always falling
back to type_int(), cementing the equivalence between the types.
However, some visitors are providing a type_uint64() callback.
For purposes of code consistency, it is nicer if all visitors
use the paired type_int64/type_uint64 names rather than the
mismatched type_int/type_uint64. So this patch just renames
the signed int callbacks in place, dropping the type_int()
callback as redundant, and a later patch will focus on the
unsigned int callbacks.
Add some FIXMEs to questionable reuse of errp in code touched
by the rename, while at it (the reuse works as long as the
callbacks don't modify value when setting an error, but it's not
a good example to set) - a later patch will then fix those.
No change in functionality here, although further cleanups are
in the pipeline.

qapi: Make all visitors supply uint64 callbacks
Our qapi visitor contract supports multiple integer visitors,
but left the type_uint64 visitor as optional (falling back on
type_int64); which in turn can lead to awkward behavior with
numbers larger than INT64_MAX (the user has to be aware of
twos complement, and deal with negatives).
This patch does not address the disparity in handling large
values as negatives. It merely moves the fallback from uint64
to int64 from the visitor core to the visitors, where the issue
can actually be fixed, by implementing the missing type_uint64()
callbacks on top of the respective type_int64() callbacks, and
with a FIXME comment explaining why that's wrong.
With that done, we now have a type_uint64() callback in every
driver, so we can make it mandatory from the core. And although
the type_int64() callback can cover the entire valid range of
type_uint{8,16,32} on valid user input, using type_uint64() to
avoid mixed signedness makes more sense.

core, individual visitors, and users of visitors difficult to
coordinate. Among other questions: when is it safe to pass NULL,
vs. when a string must be provided; which visitors implement which
callbacks; the difference between concrete and virtual visits.
Correct this by retrofitting proper contracts, and document where some
of the interface warts remain (for example, we may want to modify
visit_end_* to require the same 'obj' as the visit_start counterpart,
so the dealloc visitor can be simplified). Later patches in this
series will tackle some, but not all, of these warts.
Add assertions to (partially) enforce the contract. Some of these
were only made possible by recent cleanup commits.

qapi: Document visitor interfaces, add assertions
The visitor interface for mapping between QObject/QemuOpts/string
and QAPI is scandalously under-documented, making changes to visitor
core, individual visitors, and users of visitors difficult to
coordinate. Among other questions: when is it safe to pass NULL,
vs. when a string must be provided; which visitors implement which
callbacks; the difference between concrete and virtual visits.

qapi: Add visit_type_null() visitor
Right now, qmp-output-visitor happens to produce a QNull result
if nothing is actually visited between the creation of the visitor
and the request for the resulting QObject. A stronger protocol
would require that a QMP output visit MUST visit something. But
to still be able to produce a JSON 'null' output, we need a new
visitor function that states our intentions. Yes, we could say
that such a visit must go through visit_type_any(), but that
feels clunky.
So this patch introduces the new visit_type_null() interface and
its no-op interface in the dealloc visitor, and stubs in the
qmp visitors (the next patch will finish the implementation).
For the visitors that will not implement the callback, document
the situation. The code in qapi-visit-core unconditionally
dereferences the callback pointer, so that a segfault will inform
a developer if they need to implement the callback for their
choice of visitor.
Note that JSON has a primitive null type, with the single value
null; likewise with the QNull type for QObject; but for QAPI,
we just have the 'null' value without a null type. We may
eventually want to add more support in QAPI for null (most likely,
we'd use it via an alternate type that permits 'null' or an
object); but we'll create that usage when we need it.
