Linking code from multiple separate QAPI schemata into the same
program is possible, but involves some weirdness around built-in
types:
* We generate code for built-in types into .c only with option
--builtins. The user is responsible for generating code for exactly
one QAPI schema per program with --builtins.
* We generate code for built-in types into .h regardless of
--builtins, but guarded by #ifndef QAPI_VISIT_BUILTIN. Because all
copies of this code are exactly the same, including any combination
of these headers works.
Replace this contraption by something more conventional: generate code
for built-in types into their very own files: qapi-builtin-types.c,
qapi-builtin-visit.c, qapi-builtin-types.h, qapi-builtin-visit.h, but
only with --builtins. Obey --output-dir, but ignore --prefix for
them.
Make qapi-types.h include qapi-builtin-types.h. With multiple
schemata you now have multiple qapi-types.[ch], but only one
qapi-builtin-types.[ch]. Same for qapi-visit.[ch] and
qapi-builtin-visit.[ch].
Bonus: if all you need is built-in stuff, you can include a much
smaller header. To be exploited shortly.

The use of QAPIGen is rather shallow so far: most of the output
accumulation is not converted. Take the next step: convert output
accumulation in the code-generating visitor classes. Helper functions
outside these classes are not converted.

The include directive permits modular QAPI schemata, but the generated
code is monolithic all the same. To permit generating modular code,
the front end needs to pass more information on inclusions to the back
ends. The commit before last added the necessary information to the
parse tree. This commit adds it to the intermediate representation
and its QAPISchemaVisitor. A later commit will use this to to
generate modular code.
New entity QAPISchemaInclude represents inclusions. Call new visitor
method visit_include() for it, so visitors can see the sub-modules a
module includes.
Note that unlike other entities, QAPISchemaInclude has no name, and is
therefore not added to entity_dict.
New QAPISchemaEntity attribute @module names the entity's source file.
Call new visitor method visit_module() when it changes during a visit,
so visitors can keep track of the module being visited.

The generators' conversion to visitors (merge commit 9e72681d16)
changed the processing order of entities from source order to
alphabetical order. The next commit needs source order, so change it
back.
Backports commit 8a84767cc4f7e00e5dd62435c32be9e7d2cbe4d3 from qemu
The parse tree is a list of expressions. Except include expressions
currently get replaced by the included file's parse tree.
Instead of throwing away the include expression, keep it with the file
name expanded so you don't have to track the including file's
directory to make sense of it.
A future commit will put this include expression to use.

Error messages print absolute file names of included files even if the
user gave a relative one on the command line:
$ PYTHONPATH=scripts python -B tests/qapi-schema/test-qapi.py tests/qapi-schema/include-cycle.json

Improve this to

The error message when an include file can't be opened prints the
include directive's file name, which is relative to the including
file. Change this to print the file name relative to the working
directory. Visible in tests/qapi-schema/include-no-file.err.
Backports commit af97502ce9c648ae5c746b9e562d6e4586f02eee from qemu
A massive number of objects depends on QAPI-generated headers. In my
"build everything" tree, it's roughly 4800 out of 5100. This is
particularly annoying when only some of the generated files change,
say for a doc fix.
Improve qapi-gen.py to touch its output files only if they actually
change. Rebuild time for a QAPI doc fix drops from many minutes to a
few seconds. Rebuilds get faster for certain code changes, too. For
instance, adding a simple QMP event now recompiles less than 200
instead of 4800 objects. But adding a QAPI type is as bad as ever;
we've clearly got more work to do.
Backports commit 907b846653fb3757bf2ab98d6d66f92df34d875f from qemu
Whenever qapi-schema.json changes, we run six programs eleven times to
update eleven files. Similar for qga/qapi-schema.json. This is
silly. Replace the six programs by a single program that spits out
all eleven files.
The programs become modules in new Python package qapi, along with the
helper library. This requires moving them to scripts/qapi/. While
moving them, consistently drop executable mode bits.
