[PATCH v4 15/46] qapi/common.py: Add indent manager

[John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>]

Code style tools really dislike the use of global keywords, because it
generally involves re-binding the name at runtime which can have strange
effects depending on when and how that global name is referenced in
other modules.

Make a little indent level manager instead.
