[PATCH 2/7] python/qemu: formalize as package

[John Snow]

NB: I am choosing Python 3.6 here. Although our minimum requirement is
3.5, this code is used only by iotests (so far) under which we have been
using a minimum version of 3.6.

3.6 is being preferred here for variable type hint capability, which
enables us to use mypy for this package.

RFC: This uses the version tags of the parent tree here, so packages
will be installed as e.g. 5.0.0, 5.1.0-rc0, etc.

Pros:
 - Easy to tell which versions of QEMU it supports
 - Simple

Cons:
 - Implies semver, which we do NOT follow for QEMU releases
 - Implies the package is in a stable state


We could also start a separate versioning for just the Python SDK at
e.g. 0.1;

Pros:
 - We can use semver, which is expected of Python packaging
 - Allows us to break compatibility for 0.x releases

Cons:
 - More complex, the mapping from SDK version to QEMU version
   is less obvious
 - Requires someone to manage a secondary version commit for
   the Python SDK.

Or, perhaps, we could start versioning with 0.5.0.0, 0.5.1.0, etc to
combine a bit of both flavors; bumping the major version number only
when incompatible changes to the Python interface itself are made,
treating the major version number more like an epoch.
