The A64 translator uses a hand-written decoder for everything except
SVE or SME. It's fairly well structured, but it's becoming obvious
that it's still more painful to add instructions to than the A32
translator, because putting a new instruction into the right place in
a hand-written decoder is much harder than adding new instruction
patterns to a decodetree file.
As the first step in conversion to decodetree, create the skeleton of
the decodetree decoder; where it does not handle instructions we will
fall back to the legacy decoder (which will be for everything at the
moment, since there are no patterns in a64.decode).

Python 3.6 was EOL 2021-12-31. Newer versions of upstream libraries have
begun dropping support for this version and it is becoming more
cumbersome to support. Avocado-framework and qemu.qmp each have their
own reasons for wanting to drop Python 3.6, but won't until QEMU does.
Versions of Python available in our supported build platforms as of today,
with optional versions available in parentheses:
openSUSE Leap 15.4: 3.6.15 (3.9.10, 3.10.2)
CentOS Stream 8: 3.6.8 (3.8.13, 3.9.16)
CentOS Stream 9: 3.9.13
Fedora 36: 3.10
Fedora 37: 3.11
Debian 11: 3.9.2
Alpine 3.14, 3.15: 3.9.16
Alpine 3.16, 3.17: 3.10.10
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS: 3.8.10
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS: 3.10.4
NetBSD 9.3: 3.9.13*
FreeBSD 12.4: 3.9.16
FreeBSD 13.1: 3.9.16
OpenBSD 7.2: 3.9.16
Note: Our VM tests install 3.9 explicitly for FreeBSD and 3.10 for
NetBSD; the default for "python" or "python3" in FreeBSD is
3.9.16. NetBSD does not appear to have a default meta-package, but
offers several options, the lowest of which is 3.7.15. "python39"
appears to be a pre-requisite to one of the other packages we request in
tests/vm/netbsd. pip, ensurepip and other Python essentials are
currently only available for Python 3.10 for NetBSD.
CentOS and OpenSUSE support parallel installation of multiple Python
interpreters, and binaries in /usr/bin will always use Python 3.6. However,
the newly introduced support for virtual environments ensures that all build
steps that execute QEMU Python code use a single interpreter.
Since it is safe to under our supported platform policy, bump our
minimum supported version of Python to 3.7.

In the event that there's no vendored source present and no sufficient
version of $package can be found, we will attempt to connect to PyPI to
install the package if '--disable-pypi' was not passed.
This means that PyPI access is "enabled by default", but there are some
subtleties that make this action occur much less frequently than you
might imagine:
(1) While --enable-pypi is the default, vendored source will always be
preferred when found, making PyPI a fallback. This should ensure
that configure-time venv building "just works" for almost everyone
in almost every circumstance.
(2) Because meson source is, at time of writing, vendored directly into
qemu.git, PyPI will never be used for sourcing meson.
(3) Because Sphinx is an optional dependency, if docs are set to "auto",
PyPI will not be used to obtain Sphinx source as a fallback and
instead docs will be disabled. If PyPI sourcing of sphinx is
desired, --enable-docs should be passed to force the lookup. I chose
this as the default behavior to avoid adding new internet lookups to
a "default" invocation of configure.

This commit changes how we detect and install meson. It notably removes
'--meson='.
Currently, configure creates a lightweight Python virtual environment
unconditionally using the user's configured $python that inherits system
packages. Temporarily, we forced the use of meson source present via git
submodule or in the release tarball.
With this patch, we restore the ability to use a system-provided meson:
If Meson is installed in the build venv and meets our minimum version
requirements, we will use that Meson. This includes a system provided
meson, which would be visible via system-site packages inside the venv.
In the event that Meson is installed but *not for the chosen Python
interpreter*, not found, or of insufficient version, we will attempt to
install Meson from vendored source into the newly created Python virtual
environment. This vendored installation replaces both the git submodule
and tarball source mechanisms for sourcing meson.
As a result of this patch, the Python interpreter we use for both our
own build scripts *and* Meson extensions are always known to be the
exact same Python. As a further benefit, there will also be a symlink
available in the build directory that points to the correct, configured
python and can be used by e.g. manual tests to invoke the correct,
configured Python unambiguously.

In preference to vendoring meson source, vendor a built distributable
("bdist" in python parlance). This has some benefits:
(1) We can get rid of a git submodule,
(2) Installing built meson into a venv doesn't require any extra
dependencies (the python "wheel" package, chiefly.)
(3) We don't treat meson any differently than we would any other python
package (we install it, end of story, done.)
(4) All future tarball *and* developer checkouts will function offline;
No git or PyPI connection needed to fetch meson.
Note that because mkvenv prefers vendored packages to PyPI, as mkvenv is
currently written we will never consult PyPI for meson. (Do keep in mind
that your distribution's meson will be preferred above the vendored
version, though.)

Several debian-based tests need the python3-venv dependency as a
consequence of Debian debundling the "ensurepip" module normally
included with Python.
As mkvenv.py stands as of this commit, Debian requires EITHER:
(A) setuptools and pip, or
(B) ensurepip
mkvenv is a few seconds faster if you have setuptools and pip, so
developers should prefer the first requirement. For the purposes of CI,
the time-save is a wash; it's only a matter of who is responsible for
installing pip and when; the timing is about the same.
Arbitrarily, I chose adding ensurepip to the test configuration because
it is normally part of the Python stdlib, and always having it allows us
a more consistent cross-platform environment.

This is a routine that is designed to print some usable info for human

Since we are requiring that "meson" and "sphinx" are installed to the
same Python environment as QEMU is configured to build with, this can
produce some surprising failures when things are mismatched. This method
is here to try and ease that sting by offering some actionable

This command is to be used to add various packages (or ensure they're
already present) into the configure-provided venv in a modular fashion.
Examples:
mkvenv ensure --online --dir "${source_dir}/python/wheels/" "meson>=0.61.5"
mkvenv ensure --online "sphinx>=1.6.0"
mkvenv ensure "qemu.qmp==0.0.2"
It's designed to look for packages in three places, in order:
(1) In system packages, if the version installed is already good
enough. This way your distribution-provided meson, sphinx, etc are
always used as first preference.
(2) In a vendored packages directory. Here I am suggesting
qemu.git/python/wheels/ as that directory. This is intended to serve as
a replacement for vendoring the meson source for QEMU tarballs. It is
also highly likely to be extremely useful for packaging the "qemu.qmp"
package in source distributions for platforms that do not yet package
qemu.qmp separately.
(3) Online, via PyPI, ***only when "--online" is passed***. This is only
ever used as a fallback if the first two sources do not have an
appropriate package that meets the requirement. The ability to build
QEMU and run tests *completely offline* is not impinged.

Python virtual environments do not typically nest; they may inherit from
the top-level system packages or not at all.
For our purposes, it would be convenient to emulate "nested" virtual
environments to allow callers of the configure script to install
specific versions of python utilities in order to test build system
features, utility version compatibility, etc.
While it is possible to install packages into the system environment
(say, by using the --user flag), it's nicer to install test packages
into a totally isolated environment instead.
As detailed in https://www.qemu.org/2023/03/24/python/, Emulate a nested
venv environment by using .pth files installed into the site-packages
folder that points to the parent environment when appropriate.

ensurepip needs pyexpat. Try our best to offer a helpful error message
instead of just failing catastrophically.

This script will be responsible for building a lightweight Python
virtual environment at configure time. It works with Python 3.6 or
newer.
It has been designed to:
- work *offline*, no PyPI required.
- work *quickly*, The fast path is only ~65ms on my machine.
- work *robustly*, with multiple fallbacks to keep things working.
- work *cooperatively*, using system packages where possible.
(You can use your distro's meson, no problem.)
Due to its unique position in the build chain, it exists outside of the
installable python packages in-tree and *must* be runnable without any
third party dependencies.
Under normal circumstances, the only dependency required to execute this
script is Python 3.6+ itself. The script is *faster* by several seconds
when setuptools and pip are installed in the host environment, which is
probably the case for a typical multi-purpose developer workstation.
In the event that pip/setuptools are missing or not usable, additional
dependencies may be required on some distributions which remove certain
Python stdlib modules to package them separately:
- Debian may require python3-venv to provide "ensurepip"
- NetBSD may require py310-expat to provide "pyexpat" *
(* Or whichever version is current for NetBSD.)
