[RFC PATCH 0/9] Python: Switch to externally hosted qemu.qmp dependency

[John Snow]

Based-on: <20211215193939.3768033-1-jsnow@redhat.com>

Hi, this series is part of an effort to publish the qemu.qmp package on
PyPI. It is the last of three series to complete this work:

    (1) Switch the new Async QMP library in to python/qemu/qmp
    (2) Fork python/qemu/qmp out into its own repository,
        with updated GitLab CI/CD targets to build packages.
--> (3) Update qemu.git to install qemu.qmp from PyPI,
        and then delete python/qemu/qmp.

This series is meant to apply to qemu.git after the standalone
repository for qemu.qmp is established and the library is uploaded to
PyPI.

However, I thought I'd share it now so that everyone can see what kind
of work is involved post-split on the qemu.git end.

RFC notes:

- The version pinning and Pipenv patches will have to be redone later
  with proper versions and checksums and so on, but this is a workable
  example you can experiment with in the meantime.

- The testenv.py changes to use a VENV could be bolstered even further
  to use a checksum of requirements.txt to make that system a little bit
  more robust, but I wanted to share the WIP draft to get some early
  impressions.

... And that's it! These three series complete the split and leave us
with a published QMP library on PyPI.

Happy New Years, everyone. See you in 2022 :)
