Fully eliminate the "Example" sections in QAPI doc blocks now that they
have all been converted to arbitrary rST syntax using the
".. qmp-example::" directive. Update tests to match.
Migrating to the new syntax
---------------------------
The old "Example:" or "Examples:" section syntax is now caught as an
error, but "Example::" is stil permitted as explicit rST syntax for an
un-lexed, generic preformatted text block.
('Example' is not special in this case, any sentence that ends with "::"
will start an indented code block in rST.)
Arbitrary rST for Examples is now possible, but it's strongly
recommended that documentation authors use the ".. qmp-example::"
directive for consistent visual formatting in rendered HTML docs. The
":title:" directive option may be used to add extra information into the
title bar for the example. The ":annotated:" option can be used to write
arbitrary rST instead, with nested "::" blocks applying QMP formatting
where desired.
Other choices available are ".. code-block:: QMP" which will not create
an "Example:" box, or the short-form "::" code-block syntax which will
not apply QMP highlighting when used outside of the qmp-example
directive.
Why?
----
This patch has several benefits:
1. Example sections can now be written more arbitrarily, mixing
explanatory paragraphs and code blocks however desired.
2. Example sections can now use fully arbitrary rST.
3. All code blocks are now lexed and validated as QMP; increasing
usability of the docs and ensuring validity of example snippets.
(To some extent - This patch only gaurantees it lexes correctly, not
that it's valid under the JSON or QMP grammars. It will catch most
small mistakes, however.)
4. Each qmp-example can be titled or annotated independently without
bypassing the QMP lexer/validator.
(i.e. code blocks are now for *code* only, so we don't have to
sacrifice exposition for having lexically valid examples.)
NOTE: As with the "Notes" conversion (d461c27973), this patch (and the
three preceding) may change the rendering order for Examples in
the current generator. The forthcoming qapidoc rewrite will fix
this by always generating documentation in source order.

[Indentation tweaked for consistency]
Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>
We do not need a dedicated section for notes. By eliminating a specially
parsed section, these notes can be treated as normal rST paragraphs in
the new QMP reference manual, and can be placed and styled much more
flexibly.
Convert all existing "Note" and "Notes" sections to pure rST. As part of
the conversion, capitalize the first letter of each sentence and add
trailing punctuation where appropriate to ensure notes look sensible and
consistent in rendered HTML documentation. Markup is also re-aligned to
the de-facto standard of 3 spaces for directives.
Update docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.rst to reflect the new paradigm, and
update the QAPI parser to prohibit "Note" sections while suggesting a
new syntax. The exact formatting to use is a matter of taste, but a good
candidate is simply:
.. note:: lorem ipsum ...
... dolor sit amet ...
... consectetur adipiscing elit ...
... but there are other choices, too. The Sphinx readthedocs theme
offers theming for the following forms (capitalization unimportant); all
are adorned with a (!) symbol () in the title bar for rendered HTML
docs.
See
https://sphinx-rtd-theme.readthedocs.io/en/stable/demo/demo.html#admonitions
for examples of each directive/admonition in use.
These are rendered in orange:
.. Attention:: ...
.. Caution:: ...
.. WARNING:: ...
These are rendered in red:
.. DANGER:: ...
.. Error:: ...
These are rendered in green:
.. Hint:: ...
.. Important:: ...
.. Tip:: ...
These are rendered in blue:
.. Note:: ...
.. admonition:: custom title
admonition body text
This patch uses ".. note::" almost everywhere, with just two "caution"
directives. Several instances of "Notes:" have been converted to
merely ".. note::", or multiple ".. note::" where appropriate.
".. admonition:: notes" is used in a few places where we had an
ordered list of multiple notes that would not make sense as
standalone/separate admonitions. Two "Note:" following "Example:"
have been turned into ordinary paragraphs within the example.
NOTE: Because qapidoc.py does not attempt to preserve source ordering of
sections, the conversion of Notes from a "tagged section" to an
"untagged section" means that rendering order for some notes *may
change* as a result of this patch. The forthcoming qapidoc.py rewrite
strictly preserves source ordering in the rendered documentation, so
this issue will be rectified in the new generator.

Change get_doc_indented() to preserve indentation on all subsequent text
lines, and create a compatibility dedent() function for qapidoc.py that
removes indentation the same way get_doc_indented() did.
This is being done for the benefit of a new qapidoc generator which
requires that indentation in argument and features sections are
preserved.
Prior to this patch, a section like this:
```
@name: lorem ipsum
dolor sit amet
consectetur adipiscing elit
```
would have its body text be parsed into:
```
lorem ipsum
dolor sit amet
consectetur adipiscing elit
```
We want to preserve the indentation for even the first body line so that
the entire block can be parsed directly as rST. This patch would now
parse that segment into:
```
lorem ipsum
dolor sit amet
consectetur adipiscing elit
```
This is helpful for formatting arguments and features as field lists in
rST, where the new generator will format this information as:
```
:arg type name: lorem ipsum
dolor sit amet
consectetur apidiscing elit
```
...and can be formed by the simple concatenation of the field list
construct and the body text. The indents help preserve the continuation
of a block-level element, and further allow the use of additional rST
block-level constructs such as code blocks, lists, and other such
markup.
This understandably breaks the existing qapidoc.py; so a new function is
added there to dedent the text for compatibility. Once the new generator
is merged, this function will not be needed any longer and can be
dropped.
I verified this patch changes absolutely nothing by comparing the
md5sums of the QMP ref html pages both before and after the change, so
it's certified inert. QAPI test output has been updated to reflect the
new strategy of preserving indents for rST.

For union types, the tag member is known only after .check().
We used to code this in a simple way: QAPISchemaVariants attribute
.tag_member was None for union types until .check().
Since this complicated typing, recent commit "qapi/schema: fix typing

attributes that become known only in .check(): declare, but don't
initialize it in .__init__().

QAPISchemaVariants represents either a union type's branches, or an
alternate type's alternatives. Much of its code is conditional on
which one it actually is.
Create QAPISchemaBranches for branches, and QAPISchemaAlternatives for
alternatives, both subtypes of QAPISchemaVariants.
Replace QAPISchemaVariants by one of them where possible. Keep it
only where we actually deal with either of them.
QAPISchemaVariants.__init__() takes @tag_name and @tag_member, where
exactly one must be None: @tag_name for alternatives, @tag_member for
branches. Let QAPISchemaBranches.__init__() take just @tag_name, and
QAPISchemaAlternatives.__init__() take just @tag_member.
A later patch will move the conditional code to the subtypes.

QAPISchema.lookup_entity() takes an optional type argument, a subtype
of QAPISchemaDefinition, and returns that type or None. Callers can
use this to save themselves an isinstance() test.
The only remaining user of this convenience feature is .lookup_type().
But we don't actually save anything anymore there: we still need the
isinstance() to help mypy over the hump.

Dict[str, object] is a stricter type, but with the way that code is
currently arranged, it is infeasible to enforce this strictness.
In particular, although expr.py's entire raison d'être is normalization
and type-checking of QAPI Expressions, that type information is not
"remembered" in any meaningful way by mypy because each individual
expression is not downcast to a specific expression type that holds all
the details of each expression's unique form.
As a result, all of the code in schema.py that deals with actually
creating type-safe specialized structures has no guarantee (myopically)
that the data it is being passed is correct.
There are two ways to solve this:
(1) Re-assert that the incoming data is in the shape we expect it to be, or
(2) Disable type checking for this data.
(1) is appealing to my sense of strictness, but I gotta concede that it
is asinine to re-check the shape of a QAPIExpression in schema.py when
expr.py has just completed that work at length. The duplication of code
and the nightmare thought of needing to update both locations if and
when we change the shape of these structures makes me extremely
reluctant to go down this route.
(2) allows us the chance to miss updating types in the case that types
are updated in expr.py, but it *is* an awful lot simpler and,
importantly, gets us closer to type checking schema.py *at
all*. Something is better than nothing, I'd argue.
So, do the simpler dumber thing and worry about future strictness
improvements later.

QAPISchemaVariant's "variants" field is typed as
List[QAPISchemaVariant], where the typing for QAPISchemaVariant allows
its type field to be any QAPISchemaType.
However, QAPISchemaVariant expects that all of its variants contain the
narrower QAPISchemaObjectType. This relationship is enforced at runtime
in QAPISchemaVariants.check(). This relationship is not embedded in the
type system though, so QAPISchemaVariants.check_clash() needs to
re-assert this property in order to call
QAPISchemaVariant.type.check_clash().

There are two related changes here:
(1) We need to perform type narrowing for resolving the type of
tag_member during check(), and
(2) tag_member is a delayed initialization field, but we can hide it
behind a property that raises an Exception if it's called too
early. This simplifies the typing in quite a few places and avoids
needing to assert that the "tag_member is not None" at a dozen
callsites, which can be confusing and suggest the wrong thing to a
drive-by contributor.

Declare, but don't initialize the "members" field with type
List[QAPISchemaObjectTypeMember].
This simplifies the typing from what would otherwise be
Optional[List[T]] to merely List[T]. This removes the need to add
assertions to several callsites that this value is not None - which it
never will be after the delayed initialization in check() anyway.
The type declaration without initialization trick will cause accidental
uses of this field prior to full initialization to raise an
AttributeError.
(Note that it is valid to have an empty members list, see the internal
q_empty object as an example. For this reason, we cannot use the empty
list as a replacement test for full initialization and instead rely on
the _checked/_check_complete fields.)

Instead of using the None value for the members field, use a dedicated

This is intended to assist with subsequent patches that seek to remove
the "None" value from the members field (which can never hold that value
after the final call to check()) in order to simplify the static typing
of that field; avoiding the need of assertions littered at many
callsites to eliminate the possibility of the None value.
