Sometimes, the behaviour of QEMU changes without a change in the QMP
syntax (usually by allowing values or operations that previously
resulted in an error). QMP clients may still need to know whether
they can rely on the changed behavior.

Let's add feature flags to the QAPI schema language, so that we can make
such changes visible with schema introspection.

An example for a schema definition using feature flags looks like this:

    { 'struct': 'TestType',
      'data': { 'number': 'int' },
      'features': [ 'allow-negative-numbers' ] }

Introspection information then looks like this:

    { "name": "TestType", "meta-type": "object",
      "members": [
          { "name": "number", "type": "int" } ],
      "features": [ "allow-negative-numbers" ] }

This patch implements feature flags only for struct types. We'll
implement them more widely as needed.

+=== Features ===
+
+Sometimes, the behaviour of QEMU changes compatibly, but without a
+change in the QMP syntax (usually by allowing values or operations that
+previously resulted in an error). QMP clients may still need to know
+whether the extension is available.
+
+For this purpose, a list of features can be specified for a struct type.
+This is exposed to the client as a list of string, where each string
+signals that this build of QEMU shows a certain behaviour.
+
+In the schema, features can be specified as simple strings, for example:
+
+{ 'struct': 'TestType',
+  'data': { 'number': 'int' },
+  'features': [ 'allow-negative-numbers' ] }
+
+Another option is to specify features as dictionaries, where the key
+'name' specifies the feature string to be exposed to clients:
+
+{ 'struct': 'TestType',
+  'data': { 'number': 'int' },
+  'features': [ { 'name': 'allow-negative-numbers' } ] }
+
+This expanded form is necessary if you want to make the feature
+conditional (see below in "Configuring the schema").
