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.

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:

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.
