[Libguestfs] [PATCH v4 0/5] qapi: Add feature flags to enum members

PATCH 1+2 add feature flags to enum members. Awkward due to an introspection design mistake; see PATCH 1 for details. PATCH 3+4 implement policy deprecated-input={reject,crash} for enum values. Policy deprecated-output=hide is not implemented, because we can't hide a value without hiding the entire member, which is almost certainly more than the requester of this policy bargained for. Perhaps we want a new policy deprecated-output=hide-or-else-crash to help us catch unwanted use of deprecated enum values. Perhaps we want deprecated-output=hide to behave that way together with deprecated-input=crash. Or even always. Thoughts? PATCH 5 puts the new feature flags to use. It's RFC because it makes sense only on top of Vladimir's deprecation of drive-backup. See its commit message for a reference. I prefer to commit new features together with a use outside tests/. PATCH 5 adds such a use, but it's RFC, because it depends on Vladimir's work. Perhaps another use pops up. I can delay this work in the hope of a use becoming ready, but the feature flags work I have in the pipeline will eventually force my hand. v4: * PATCH 1: Deprecate SchemaInfoEnum member @values. * PATCH 2: Doc tweak v3: * PATCH 1+2: Update qapi-code-gen.rst [Kevin, Eric] * PATCH 4: Commit message typo [Eric], doc update moved to PATCH 2 * PATCH 5: Doc comment FIXME resolved [Kevin] v2: * Rebased with straightforward conflicts. * PATCH 1-4: No longer RFC. * PATCH 1: "Since" information fixed [Eric].
