test-qapi.py doesn't force a specific encoding for stderr or
stdout, but the reference files used by check-qapi-schema are in
UTF-8.  This breaks check-qapi-schema under certain circumstances
(e.g. if using the C locale and Python < 3.7).

We need to make sure test-qapi.py always generate UTF-8 output
somehow.  On Python 3.7+ we can do it using
`sys.stdout.reconfigure(...)`, but we need a solution that works
with older Python versions.

Instead of trying a hack like reopening sys.stdout and
sys.stderr, we can just tell Python to use UTF-8 for I/O encoding
when running test-qapi.py.  Do it by setting PYTHONIOENCODING.

I see PYTHONIOENCODING exists since 2.6 which is nice.

How about we actually change $(PYTHON) so that it always includes
PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 ?

That way we avoid continuing to play whack-a-mole with more utf-8
bugs in future.

It would also let us revert this:

  commit de685ae5e9a4b523513033bd6cadc8187a227170
  Author: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>
  Date:   Mon Jun 18 19:59:57 2018 +0200

    qapi: Open files with encoding='utf-8'

which had to provide separate logic for py2 vs py3 :-(

Regards,
Daniel

Not every Python script in the QEMU tree is run by our makefiles
and scripts using $(PYTHON).  We need to ensure our scripts and
modules won't break when run directly from the command line, too.
Setting PYTHONIOENCODING everywhere would just hide these bugs
from us.

The separate logic will soon be history.  I'd welcome getting rid of the
remainder anyway.

I agree for Python scripts that are meant to be run that way (assuming
such scripts exist).  For all the others (including all the QAPI-related
scripts), I'd be quite fine with

1. Our build system runs all Python scripts with the
PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8

2. If you run a Python script yourself, you get to specify the
PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8, or use a suitable locale.  Enabling UTF-8 mode
with PYTHONUTF8=1 or -X utf8 could also work.

Which remainder?  Do you mean the encoding='utf-8' arguments to
open()?

All scripts inside ./scripts are meant to be run directly from
the command line, aren't they?

I'm OK if we don't actively try to fix those bugs and just expect
people to set PYTHONIOENCODING.  But I don't think we should
reject patches that make the Python code work with non-utf8
locales if it's an easy fix.

I'd welcome a revert the whole commit.

Counter-example: you're welcome to run scripts/qapi-gen.py by hand for
whatever purpose, but if you mess up your build that way, you're on your
own.

I'm not going to interfere with easy fixes to code I don't maintain :)
