This is a minor re-work of the entrypoint script. It isolates a
generate() method from the actual command-line mechanism.

Uh...

     $ python3 scripts/qapi-gen.py --prefix=@ x
     scripts/qapi-gen.py: : funny character '@' in prefix '@'

Unwanted " :".

This is due to a hack: you pass '' for info (*quack*).  Everything else
passes QAPISourceInfo (I believe).

Is it really a good idea to do this in generate?  It's not about
generating code, it's about validating a CLI option.

I don't like the changes to default=, because:

1. They are only losely related to the patch's purpose.

2. They split the definition of the CLI: most of it is here, except for
defaults, which are defined elsewhere.

3. The defaults will not change, and nothing else uses the constants.

Subtle change: you move the gen_FOO() into the try ... except.  Okay;
they don't raise QAPIError, but perhaps worth a mention in the commit
message.

"Python was designed to be easy to understand and fun to use."
Ha ha ha.

Here's a Fixup that requires more (but obvious) Fixups to later patches in this series. (The next patch needs the same changes re-applied to the now-moved file.)

A note: I add a FIXME, but when I respin my error series, it will take care of this piece. This is just the quickest, dumbest way to victory in the interim. It is not worth engineering a better solution, because there is one waiting in part 4 already.

(Future knowledge: I add a QAPIError that does not define its arguments that inherits Exception and is used as the basis for all error classes in QAPI; and the contextual error that requires "info" is changed to inherit from QAPIError. This is useful as a "package-level" error, one in which that *all* errors in this package inherit from. We already achieve that, but we needed a more general form to serve as the root of that inheritance tree.)
