This adds the python qemu packages themselves to the pipenv manifest.
'pipenv sync' will create a virtual environment sufficient to use the SDK.
'pipenv sync --dev' will create a virtual environment sufficient to use
and test the SDK (with pylint, mypy, isort, flake8, etc.)
The qemu packages are installed in 'editable' mode; all changes made to
the python package inside the git tree will be reflected in the
installed package without reinstallation. This includes changes made
via git pull and so on.

isort 5.0.0 through 5.0.4 has a bug that causes it to misinterpret
certain "from ..." clauses that are not related to imports.
isort < 5.1.1 has a bug where it does not handle comments near import
statements correctly.
Require 5.1.2 or greater.
isort can be run (in "check" mode) with 'isort -c qemu' from the python
root. isort can also be used to fix/rewrite import order automatically
by using 'isort qemu'.

0.730 appears to be about the oldest version that works with the
features we want, including nice human readable output (to make sure
iotest 297 passes), and type-parameterized Popen generics.
0.770, however, supports adding 'strict' to the config file, so require
at least 0.770.
Now that we are checking a namespace package, we need to tell mypy to
allow PEP420 namespaces, so modify the mypy config as part of the move.
mypy can now be run from the python root by typing 'mypy -p qemu'.
A note on mypy invocation: Running it as "mypy qemu/" changes the import
path detection mechanisms in mypy slightly, and it will fail. See
https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/8584 for a decent entry point with
more breadcrumbs on the various behaviors that contribute to this subtle
difference.

Instruct flake8 to avoid certain well-known directories created by
python tooling that it ought not check.
Note that at-present, nothing actually creates a ".venv" directory; but
it is in such widespread usage as a de-facto location for a developer's
virtual environment that it should be excluded anyway. A forthcoming
commit canonizes this with a "make venv" command.

We are specifying >= pylint 2.8.x for several reasons:
1. For setup.cfg support, added in pylint 2.5.x
2. To specify a version that has incompatibly dropped
bad-whitespace checks (2.6.x)
3. 2.7.x fixes "unsubscriptable" warnings in Python 3.9
4. 2.8.x adds a new, incompatible 'consider-using-with'
warning that must be disabled in some cases.
These pragmas cause warnings themselves in 2.7.x.

pipenv is a tool used for managing virtual environments with pinned,
explicit dependencies. It is used for precisely recreating python
virtual environments.
pipenv uses two files to do this:
(1) Pipfile, which is similar in purpose and scope to what setup.cfg
lists. It specifies the requisite minimum to get a functional
environment for using this package.
(2) Pipfile.lock, which is similar in purpose to `pip freeze >
requirements.txt`. It specifies a canonical virtual environment used for
deployment or testing. This ensures that all users have repeatable
results.
The primary benefit of using this tool is to ensure *rock solid*
repeatable CI results with a known set of packages. Although I endeavor
to support as many versions as I can, the fluid nature of the Python
toolchain often means tailoring code for fairly specific versions.
Note that pipenv is *not* required to install or use this module; this is
purely for the sake of repeatable testing by CI or developers.
Here, a "blank" pipfile is added with no dependencies, but specifies
Python 3.6 for the virtual environment.
Pipfile will specify our version minimums, while Pipfile.lock specifies
an exact loadout of packages that were known to operate correctly. This
latter file provides the real value for easy setup of container images
and CI environments.

This is required by 'tox', as well as by the tooling needed to upload

Python infrastructure as it exists today is not capable reliably of
single-sourcing a package version from a parent directory. The authors
of pip are working to correct this, but as of today this is not possible.
The problem is that when using pip to build and install a python
package, it copies files over to a temporary directory and performs its
build there. This loses access to any information in the parent
directory, including git itself.
Further, Python versions have a standard (PEP 440) that may or may not
follow QEMU's versioning. In general, it does; but naturally QEMU does
not follow PEP 440. To avoid any automatically-generated conflict, a
manual version file is preferred.
I am proposing:
- Python tooling follows the QEMU version, indirectly, but with a major
version of 0 to indicate that the API is not expected to be
stable. This would mean version 0.5.2.0, 0.5.1.1, 0.5.3.0, etc.
- In the event that a Python package needs to be updated independently
of the QEMU version, a pre-release alpha version should be preferred,
but *only* after inclusion to the qemu development or stable branches.
e.g. 0.5.2.0a1, 0.5.2.0a2, and so on should be preferred prior to
5.2.0's release.
- The Python core tooling makes absolutely no version compatibility
checks or constraints. It *may* work with releases of QEMU from the
past or future, but it is not required to.
i.e., "qemu.machine" will, for now, remain in lock-step with QEMU.
- We reserve the right to split the qemu package into independently
versioned subpackages at a later date. This might allow for us to
begin versioning QMP independently from QEMU at a later date, if
we so choose.
Implement this versioning scheme by adding a VERSION file and setting it
to 0.6.0.0a1.

Add setup.cfg and setup.py, necessary for installing a package via
pip. Add a ReST document (PACKAGE.rst) explaining the basics of what
this package is for and who to contact for more information. This
document will be used as the landing page for the package on PyPI.
List the subpackages we intend to package by name instead of using
find_namespace because find_namespace will naively also packages tests,
things it finds in the dist/ folder, etc. I could not figure out how to
modify this behavior; adding allow/deny lists to setuptools kept
changing the packaged hierarchy. This works, roll with it.
I am not yet using a pyproject.toml style package manifest, because
"editable" installs are not defined (yet?) by PEP-517/518.
I consider editable installs crucial for development, though they have
(apparently) always been somewhat poorly defined.
Pip now (19.2 and later) now supports editable installs for projects
using pyproject.toml manifests, but might require the use of the
--no-use-pep517 flag, which somewhat defeats the point. Full support for
setup.py-less editable installs was not introduced until pip 21.1.1:
https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/9547/commits/7a95720e796a5e56481c1cc20b6ce6249c50f357
For now, while the dust settles, stick with the de-facto
setup.py/setup.cfg combination supported by setuptools. It will be worth
re-evaluating this point again in the future when our supported build
platforms all ship a fairly modern pip.

move python/qemu/*.py to python/qemu/[machine, qmp, utils]/*.py and
update import directives across the tree.
This is done to create a PEP420 namespace package, in which we may
create subpackages. To do this, the namespace directory ("qemu") should
not have any modules in it. Those files will go into new 'machine',
'qmp' and 'utils' subpackages instead.
Implement machine/__init__.py making the top-level classes and functions
from its various modules available directly inside the package. Change
qmp.py to qmp/__init__.py similarly, such that all of the useful QMP
library classes are available directly from "qemu.qmp" instead of
"qemu.qmp.qmp".

Shift the open() call later so that the pylint pragma applies *only* to
that one open() call. Add a note that suggests why this is safe: the
resource is unconditionally cleaned up in _post_shutdown().
_post_shutdown is called after failed launches (see launch()), and
unconditionally after every call to shutdown(), and therefore also on
