The previous commit demonstrated that the generator overlooked some
fairly basic broken expressions:
- missing metataype
- metatype key has a non-string value
- unknown key in relation to the metatype
- conflicting metatype (this patch treats the second metatype as an
unknown key of the first key visited, which is not necessarily the
first key the user typed)
Add check_keys to cover these situations, and update testcases to
match. A couple other tests (enum-missing-data, indented-expr) had
to change since the validation added here occurs so early.
Conversely, changes to ident-with-escape results show that we still
have problems where our handling of escape sequences differs from
true JSON, which will matter down the road if we allow arbitrary
default string values for optional parameters (but for now is not
too bad, as we currently can avoid unicode escaping as we don't
need to represent anything beyond C identifier material).
While valid .json files won't trigger any of these cases, we might
as well be nicer to developers that make a typo while trying to add
new QAPI code.

The parser has a rather unorthodox structure:
Until EOF:
Read a section:
Generator function get_expr() yields one section after the
other, as a string. An unindented, non-empty line that
isn't a comment starts a new section.
Lexing:
Split section into a list of tokens (strings), with help
of generator function tokenize().
Parsing:
Parse the first expression from the list of tokens, with
parse(), throw away any remaining tokens.
In parse_schema(): record value of an enum, union or
struct key (if any) in the appropriate global table,
append expression to the list of expressions.
Return list of expressions.
Known issues:
(1) Indentation is significant, unlike in real JSON.
(2) Neither lexer nor parser have any idea of source positions. Error
reporting is hard, let's go shopping.
(3) The one error we bother to detect, we "report" via raise.
(4) The lexer silently ignores invalid characters.
(5) If everything in a section gets ignored, the parser crashes.
(6) The lexer treats a string containing a structural character exactly
like the structural character.
(7) Tokens trailing the first expression in a section are silently
ignored.
(8) The parser accepts any token in place of a colon.
(9) The parser treats comma as optional.
(10) parse() crashes on unexpected EOF.
(11) parse_schema() crashes when a section's expression isn't a JSON
object.
Replace this piece of original art by a thoroughly unoriginal design.
Takes care of (1), (2), (5), (6) and (7), and lays the groundwork for
addressing the others. Generated source files remain unchanged.

The parser handles erroneous input badly. To be improved shortly.
