[PATCH RFC 06/32] 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.
