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.

We use section "Returns" for documenting both success and error
response of commands.
I intend to generate better command success response documentation.
Easier when "Returns" documents just he success response.
Create new section tag "Errors". The next two commits will move error
response documentation from "Returns" sections to "Errors" sections.

QAPIDoc stores a reference to QAPIParser just to pass it to
QAPIParseError. The resulting error position depends on the state of
the parser. It happens to be the current comment line. Servicable,
but action at a distance.
The commit before previous moved most uses of QAPIParseError from
QAPIDoc to QAPIParser. There are just three left. Convert them to
QAPISemError. This involves passing info to a few methods. Then drop
the reference to QAPIParser.
The three errors lose the column number. Not really interesting here:
it's the comment line's indentation.

The parser recognizes only the first "Features:" line. Any subsequent
ones are treated as ordinary text, as visible in test case
doc-duplicate-features. Recognize "Features:" lines anywhere. A
second one is an error.
A 'Features:' line without any features is useless, but not an error.
Make it an error. This makes detecting a second "Features:" line
easier.
qapi/run-state.json actually has an instance of this since commit
fe17522d85 (qapi: Remove deprecated 'singlestep' member of
StatusInfo). Clean it up.

QAPISchemaParser is a conventional recursive descent parser. Except
QAPISchemaParser.get_doc() delegates most of the doc comment parsing
work to a state machine in QAPIDoc. The state machine doesn't get
tokens like a recursive descent parser, it is fed tokens.
I find this state machine rather opaque and hard to maintain.
Replace it by a conventional parser, all in QAPISchemaParser. Less
code, and (at least in my opinion) easier to understand.

The QAPI generator forces you to document your stuff. Except for
command arguments, event data, and members of enum and object types:
these the generator silently "documents" as "Not documented".
We can't require proper documentation there without first fixing all
the offenders. We've always had too many offenders to pull that off.
Right now, we have more than 500. Worse, we seem to fix old ones no
faster than we add new ones: in the past year, we fixed 22 ones, but
added 26 new ones.
To help arrest the backsliding, make missing documentation an error
unless the command, type, or event is in listed in new pragma
documentation-exceptions.
List all the current offenders: 117 commands and types in qapi/, and 9
in qga/.
