[PATCH v2 0/4] qapi: generalize special features

["Daniel P. Berrangé" <berrange@redhat.com>]

This series is a spin-off from

  https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2024-06/msg00807.html

That series introduced a pragma allowing a schema to declare extra
features that would be exposed to code.

Following Markus' suggestion:

  https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2024-07/msg03765.html

I've changed impl such that we expose all features to the code
regardless of whether they are special, and don't require any pragma.

I've split it from the QGA patches since it makes more sense to work
on this bit in isolation.

Changed in v2:

 * Reference QapiSpecialFeature enums constants when defining
   QapiFeature enums constants for deprecated & unstable

 * Don't expose qapi-features.h in qapi-types.h, to avoid
   global namespace pollution, instead pull it into only the
   .c files that need it. This avoids the need to add a 'prefix'
   to enum constants

 * Collect all features during parse time, rather than
   generate time, to allow earlier error reporting of the
   64 feature limit

Daniel P. Berrangé (4):
  qapi: cope with  feature names containing a '-'
  qapi: change 'unsigned special_features' to 'uint64_t features'
  qapi: rename 'special_features' to 'features'
  qapi: expose all schema features to code
