Expose some weaknesses in the generator: we don't always forbid
the generation of structs that contain multiple members that map
to the same C or QMP name. This has already been marked FIXME in
qapi.py in commit d90675f, but having more tests will make sure
future patches produce desired behavior; and updating existing
patches to better document things doesn't hurt, either. Some of
these collisions are already caught in the old-style parser
checks, but ultimately we want all collisions to be caught in the
new-style QAPISchema*.check() methods.
This patch focuses on C struct members, and does not consider
collisions between commands and events (affecting C function
names), or even collisions between generated C type names with
user type names (for things like automatic FOOList struct
representing array types or FOOKind for an implicit enum).
There are two types of struct collisions we want to catch:
1) Collision between two keys in a JSON object. qapi.py prevents
that within a single struct (see test duplicate-key), but it is
possible to have collisions between a type's members and its
base type's members (existing tests struct-base-clash,
struct-base-clash-deep), and its flat union variant members
(renamed test flat-union-clash-member).
2) Collision between two members of the C struct that is generated
for a given QAPI type:
a) Multiple QAPI names map to the same C name (new test
args-name-clash)
b) A QAPI name maps to a C name that is used for another purpose
(new tests flat-union-clash-branch, struct-base-clash-base,
union-clash-data). We already fixed some such cases in commit
0f61af3e and 1e6c1616, but more remain.
c) Two C names generated for other purposes clash
(updated test alternate-clash, new test union-clash-branches,
union-clash-type, flat-union-clash-type)
Ultimately, if we need to have a flat union where a tag value
clashes with a base member name, we could change the generator to
name the union (using 'foo.u.value' rather than 'foo.value') or
otherwise munge the C name corresponding to tag values. But
unless such a need arises, it will probably be easier to just
forbid these collisions.
Some of these negative tests will be deleted later, and positive
tests added to qapi-schema-test.json in their place, when the
generator code is reworked to avoid particular code generation
collisions in class 2).
[Note that viewing this patch with git rename detection enabled
may see some confusion due to renaming some tests while adding
others, but where the content is similar enough that git picks
the wrong pre- and post-patch files to associate]

Our type inheritance for both 'struct' and for flat 'union' merges
key/value pairs from the base class with those from the type in
question. Although the C code currently boxes things so that there
is a distinction between which member is referred to, the QMP wire
format does not allow passing a key more than once in a single
object. Besides, if we ever change the generated C code to not be
quite so boxy, we'd want to avoid duplicate member names there,
too.
Fix a testsuite entry added in an earlier patch, as well as adding
a couple more tests to ensure we have appropriate coverage. Ensure
that collisions are detected, regardless of whether there is a
difference in opinion on whether the member name is optional.
