qapi: Add new visit_complete() function Making each output visitor provide its own output collection function was the only remaining reason for exposing visitor sub-types to the rest of the code base. Add a polymorphic visit_complete() function which is a no-op for input visitors, and which populates an opaque pointer for output visitors. For maximum type-safety, also add a parameter to the output visitor constructors with a type-correct version of the output pointer, and assert that the two uses match. This approach was considered superior to either passing the output parameter only during construction (action at a distance during visit_free() feels awkward) or only during visit_complete() (defeating type safety makes it easier to use incorrectly). Most callers were function-local, and therefore a mechanical conversion; the testsuite was a bit trickier, but the previous cleanup patch minimized the churn here. The visit_complete() function may be called at most once; doing so lets us use transfer semantics rather than duplication or ref-count semantics to get the just-built output back to the caller, even though it means our behavior is not idempotent.

* Create a new string output visitor.
*
* Using @human creates output that is a bit easier for humans to read
* (for example, showing integer values in both decimal and hex).
*
* If everything else succeeds, pass @result to visit_complete() to
* collect the result of the visit.
*
* The string output visitor does not implement support for visiting
qapi: Simplify semantics of visit_next_list() The semantics of the list visit are somewhat baroque, with the following pseudocode when FooList is used: start() for (prev = head; cur = next(prev); prev = &cur) { visit(&cur->value) } Note that these semantics (advance before visit) requires that the first call to next() return the list head, while all other calls return the next element of the list; that is, every visitor implementation is required to track extra state to decide whether to return the input as-is, or to advance. It also requires an argument of 'GenericList **' to next(), solely because the first iteration might need to modify the caller's GenericList head, so that all other calls have to do a layer of dereferencing. Thankfully, we only have two uses of list visits in the entire code base: one in spapr_drc (which completely avoids visit_next_list(), feeding in integers from a different source than uint8List), and one in qapi-visit.py. That is, all other list visitors are generated in qapi-visit.c, and share the same paradigm based on a qapi FooList type, so we can refactor how lists are laid out with minimal churn among clients. We can greatly simplify things by hoisting the special case into the start() routine, and flipping the order in the loop to visit before advance: start(head) for (tail = *head; tail; tail = next(tail)) { visit(&tail->value) } With the simpler semantics, visitors have less state to track, the argument to next() is reduced to 'GenericList *', and it also becomes obvious whether an input visitor is allocating a FooList during visit_start_list() (rather than the old way of not knowing if an allocation happened until the first visit_next_list()). As a minor drawback, we now allocate in two functions instead of one, and have to pass the size to both functions (unless we were to tweak the input visitors to cache the size to start_list for reuse during next_list, but that defeats the goal of less visitor state). The signature of visit_start_list() is chosen to match visit_start_struct(), with the new parameters after 'name'. The spapr_drc case is a virtual visit, done by passing NULL for list, similarly to how NULL is passed to visit_start_struct() when a qapi type is not used in those visits. It was easy to provide these semantics for qmp-output and dealloc visitors, and a bit harder for qmp-input (several prerequisite patches refactored things to make this patch straightforward). But it turned out that the string and opts visitors munge enough other state during visit_next_list() to make it easier to just document and require a GenericList visit for now; an assertion will remind us to adjust things if we need the semantics in the future. Several pre-requisite cleanup patches made the reshuffling of the various visitors easier; particularly the qmp input visitor.
