This is the first round of QAPI.  This lays all the basic ground work for QAPI
including a client library, new server, and new signal/slot mechanism.

The QAPI development branch contains conversions of every 0.14 QMP command and
also converts all possible HMP commands to use the QMP versions of these
commands.

The bulk of QAPI is generated by a JSON schema using a Python code generator.
The test suite is based on glib.

Reviewing the code generator is hard.  I'll reply to each note with the code
generator output to show what kind of code actually is generated.

This series adds an unconditional build dependency on Python and glib.
