Linking code from multiple separate QAPI schemata into the same
program is possible, but involves some weirdness around built-in
types:
* We generate code for built-in types into .c only with option
--builtins. The user is responsible for generating code for exactly
one QAPI schema per program with --builtins.
* We generate code for built-in types into .h regardless of
--builtins, but guarded by #ifndef QAPI_VISIT_BUILTIN. Because all
copies of this code are exactly the same, including any combination
of these headers works.
Replace this contraption by something more conventional: generate code
for built-in types into their very own files: qapi-builtin-types.c,
qapi-builtin-visit.c, qapi-builtin-types.h, qapi-builtin-visit.h, but
only with --builtins. Obey --output-dir, but ignore --prefix for
them.
Make qapi-types.h include qapi-builtin-types.h. With multiple
schemata you now have multiple qapi-types.[ch], but only one
qapi-builtin-types.[ch]. Same for qapi-visit.[ch] and
qapi-builtin-visit.[ch].
Bonus: if all you need is built-in stuff, you can include a much
smaller header. To be exploited shortly.
