[RFC PATCH-for-9.1] qapi: Do not generate commands/events/introspect code for user emulation

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

User emulation requires the QAPI types. Due to the command
line processing, some visitor code is also used. The rest
is irrelevant (no QMP socket).

Add an option to the qapi-gen script to allow generating
the minimum when only user emulation is being built.
