For command line options which permit '?' meaning 'please list the
permitted values', add support for 'help' as a synonym, by abstracting
the check out into a helper function.
This change means that in some cases where we were being lazy in
our string parsing, "?junk" will now be rejected as an invalid option
rather than being (undocumentedly) treated the same way as "?".
Update the documentation to use 'help' rather than '?', since '?'
is a shell metacharacter and thus prone to fail confusingly if there
is a single character filename in the current working directory and
the '?' has not been escaped. It's therefore better to steer users
towards 'help', though '?' is retained for backwards compatibility.
We do not, however, update the output of the system emulator's -help
(or any documentation autogenerated from the qemu-options.hx which
is the source of the -help text) because libvirt parses our -help
output and will break. At a later date when QEMU provides a better
interface so libvirt can avoid having to do this, we can update the
-help text too.

The net_client_init() prototype is kept intact.
Based on "is_netdev", the QemuOpts-rooted QemuOpt-list is parsed as a
Netdev or a NetLegacy. The original meat of net_client_init() is moved to
and simplified in net_client_init1():
Fields not common between -net and -netdev are clearly separated. Getting
the name for the init functions is cleaner: Netdev::id is mandatory, and
all init functions handle a NULL NetLegacy::name. NetLegacy::vlan
explicitly depends on -net (see below).
Verifying the "type=" option for -netdev can be turned into a switch.
Format validation with qemu_opts_validate() can be removed because the
visitor covers it. Relatedly, the "net_client_types" array is reduced to
an array of init functions that can be directly indexed by opts->kind.
(Help text is available in the schema JSON.)
The outermost negation in the condition around qemu_find_vlan() was
flattened, because it expresses the dependent code's requirements more
clearly.
VLAN lookup is avoided if there's no init function to pass the VLAN to.
Whenever the value of type=... is needed, we substitute
NetClientOptionsKind_lookup[kind].
The individual init functions are not converted yet, thus the original
QemuOpts instance is passed transparently.
v1->v2:
- NetLegacy::name is optional. Tracked it through all init functions: they
all handle a NULL name. Updated commit message accordingly.
v2->v3:
- NetLegacy::id is allowed and takes precedence over NetLegacy::name.

Reorder arguments to be more natural, readable and
consistent with other iov_* functions, and change
argument names, from:
iov_from_buf(iov, iov_cnt, buf, iov_off, size)
to
iov_from_buf(iov, iov_cnt, offset, buf, bytes)
The result becomes natural English:
copy data to this `iov' vector with `iov_cnt'
elements starting at byte offset `offset'
from memory buffer `buf', processing `bytes'
bytes max.
(Try to read the original prototype this way).
Also change iov_clear() to more general iov_memset()
(it uses memset() internally anyway).
While at it, add comments to the header file
describing what the routines actually does.
The patch only renames argumens in the header, but
keeps old names in the implementation. The next
patch will touch actual code to match.
Now, it might look wrong to pay so much attention
to so small things. But we've so many badly designed
interfaces already so the whole thing becomes rather
confusing or error prone. One example of this is
previous commit and small discussion which emerged
from it, with an outcome that the utility functions
like these aren't well-understdandable, leading to
strange usage cases. That's why I paid quite some
attention to this set of functions and a few
others in subsequent patches.

This is not a full QAPI conversion, but an intermediate step.
In essence, do_netdev_add() is split into three functions:
1. netdev_add(): performs the actual work. This function is fully
converted to Error (thus, it's "qapi-friendly")
2. qmp_netdev_add(): the QMP front-end for netdev_add(). This is
coded by hand and not auto-generated (gen=no in the schema). The
reason for this it's a lot easier and simpler to with QemuOpts
this way
3. hmp_netdev_add(): HMP front-end.
This design was suggested by Paolo Bonzini.

The most common use of -net tap is to connect a tap device to a bridge. This
requires the use of a script and running qemu as root in order to allocate a
tap device to pass to the script.
This model is great for portability and flexibility but it's incredibly
difficult to eliminate the need to run qemu as root. The only really viable
mechanism is to use tunctl to create a tap device, attach it to a bridge as
root, and then hand that tap device to qemu. The problem with this mechanism
is that it requires administrator intervention whenever a user wants to create
a guest.
By essentially writing a helper that implements the most common qemu-ifup
script that can be safely given cap_net_admin, we can dramatically simplify
things for non-privileged users. We still support existing -net tap options
as a mechanism for advanced users and backwards compatibility.
Currently, this is very Linux centric but there's really no reason why it
couldn't be extended for other Unixes.
A typical invocation would be similar to one of the following:
qemu linux.img -net bridge -net nic,model=virtio
qemu linux.img -net tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper"
-net nic,model=virtio
qemu linux.img -netdev bridge,id=hn0
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1
qemu linux.img -netdev tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper",id=hn0
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1
The default bridge that we attach to is br0. The thinking is that a distro
could preconfigure such an interface to allow out-of-the-box bridged networking.
Alternatively, if a user wants to use a different bridge, a typical invocation
would be simliar to one of the following:
qemu linux.img -net bridge,br=qemubr0 -net nic,model=virtio
qemu linux.img -net tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper --br=qemubr0"
-net nic,model=virtio
qemu linux.img -netdev bridge,br=qemubr0,id=hn0
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1
qemu linux.img -netdev tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper --br=qemubr0",id=hn0

qemu_find_netdev() looks up members of non_vlan_clients by name. It
happily returns the first match. Trouble is the names need not be
unique.
non_vlan_clients contains host parts (netdevs) and guest parts (NICs).
Netdevs have unique names: a netdev's name is a (mandatory)
qemu_netdev_opts ID, and these are unique.
NIC names are not unique. If a NIC has a qdev ID (which is unique),
that's its name. Else, we make up a name. The made-up names are
unique, but they can clash with qdev IDs. Even if NICs had unique
names, they could still clash with netdev names.
Callers of qemu_find_netdev():
* net_init_nic() wants a netdev. It happens to work because it runs
before NICs get added to non_vlan_clients.
* do_netdev_del() wants a netdev. If it gets a NIC, it complains and
fails. Bug: a netdev with the same name that comes later in
non_vlan_clients can't be deleted:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -vnc :0 -S -monitor stdio -netdev user,id=hostnet0 -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hostnet0,id=virtio1

virtio1: net=10.0.2.0, restricted=n
(qemu) netdev_del virtio1
Device 'virtio1' not found
* parse_netdev() wants a netdev. If it gets a NIC, it gets confused.
With the test setup above:
(qemu) device_add virtio-net-pci,netdev=virtio1
Property 'virtio-net-pci.netdev' can't take value 'virtio1', it's in use
You can even connect two NICs to each other:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -nodefaults -vnc :0 -S -monitor stdio -device virtio-net-pci,id=virtio1 -device e1000,netdev=virtio1

Devices not on any VLAN:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
* do_set_link() works fine for both netdevs and NICs. Whether it
really makes sense for netdevs is debatable, but that's outside this
patch's scope.
Change qemu_find_netdev() to return only netdevs. This fixes the
netdev_del and device_add/-device bugs demonstrated above.
To avoid changing set_link, make do_set_link() search non_vlan_clients
by hand instead of calling qemu_find_netdev().
