The 'qapi.backend.QAPIBackend' class defines an API contract for code
generators. The current generator is put into a new class
'qapi.backend.QAPICBackend' and made to be the default impl.
A custom generator can be requested using the '-k' arg which takes a
fully qualified python class name
qapi-gen.py -B the.python.module.QAPIMyBackend
This allows out of tree code to use the QAPI generator infrastructure
to create new language bindings for QAPI schemas. This has the caveat
that the QAPI generator APIs are not guaranteed stable, so consumers
of this feature may have to update their code to be compatible with
future QEMU releases.
