[PATCH v3 02/15] python: add qemu package installer

[John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>]

Add setup.cfg and setup.py, necessary for installing a package via
pip. Add a rst document 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.

I am not yet using a pyproject.toml style package manifest, because
using pyproject.toml (and PEP-517) style packages means that pip is not
able to install in "editable" or "develop" mode, which I consider
necessary for the development of this package.

Use a light-weight setup.py instead.

+QEMU Python Tooling
+===================
+
+This package provides QEMU tooling used by the QEMU project to build,
+configure, and test QEMU. It is not a fully-fledged SDK and it is subject
+to change at any time.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+The ``qemu.qmp`` subpackage provides a library for communicating with
+QMP servers. The ``qemu.machine`` subpackage offers rudimentary
+facilities for launching and managing QEMU processes. Refer to each
+pacakge's documentation
+(``>>> help(qemu.qmp)``, ``>>> help(qemu.machine)``)
+for more information.
+
+Contributing
+------------
+
+This package is maintained by John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com> as part of
+the QEMU source tree. Contributions are welcome and follow the `QEMU
+patch submission process
+<https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch>`_. There is a `Gitlab
+mirror <https://gitlab.com/jsnow/qemu/-/tree/python>`_, but
+contributions must be sent to the list for inclusion.
