chardev-add's arguments use an annoying amount of nesting.  Example:

    {"execute": "chardev-add",
     "arguments": {
         "id":"sock0",
	 "backend": {
	     "type": "socket",
	     "data": {
	         "addr": {
		     "type": "inet",
		     "data": {
		         "host": "0.0.0.0",
			 "port": "2445"}}}}}}

This is because chardev-add predates QAPI features that enable flatter
data structures, both on the wire and in C: base types, flat unions,
commands taking a union or alternate as 'data'.

The nesting would be even more annoying in dotted key syntax:

    id=sock0,\
    backend.type=socket,\
    backend.data.addr.type=inet,\
    backend.data.addr.data.host=0.0.0.0,\
    backend.data.addr.data.port=2445

Relevant, because the next commit will QAPIfy qemu-storage-daemon
--chardev.  We really want this instead:

    --chardev socket,id=sock0,\
    addr.type=inet,\
    addr.host=0.0.0.0,\
    addr.port=2445

To get it, define a new QAPI type ChardevOptions that is the flat
equivalent to chardev-add's arguments.

What we should do now is convert the internal interfaces to take this
new type, and limit the nested old type to the external interface,
similar to what commit bd269ebc82 "sockets: Limit SocketAddressLegacy
to external interfaces" did.  But we're too close to the freeze to
pull that off safely.

What I can do now is convert the new type to the old nested type, and
promise to replace this by what should be done in the next development
cycle.

In more detail:

* Flat union ChardevOptions corresponds to chardev-add's implicit
  arguments type.  It flattens a struct containing a simple union into
  a flat union.

* The flat union's discriminator is named @backend, not @type.  This
  avoids clashing with member @type of ChardevSpiceChannel.  For what
  it's worth, -chardev also uses this name.

* Its branches @socket, @udp use ChardevSocketFlat, ChardevUdpFlat
  instead of ChardevSocket, ChardevUdp.  This flattens simple union
  SocketAddressLegacy members to flat union SocketAddress members.

* New chardev_options_crumple() converts ChardevOptions to
  chardev-add's implict arguments type.

Only one existing QAPI definition is affected: some of ChardevSocket's
members get moved to a new base type ChardevSocketBase, to reduce
duplication.  No change to the generated C type and the wire format.

Nice evaluation of the trade-off.

Big but worth it.  I'm liking the simplicity of this alternative over
Kevin's proposal, especially if we're aiming to get this in 5.2 soft freeze.

Here we are subdividing ChardevSocket into everything that is already
flat, and excluding the awkward 'addr'...

Missing a 'Since: 5.2' tag, if you want one.

...and this is the new type with a saner 'addr'.  Works for me so far.

Looks good from the QAPI point of view.

The double function call (for a double cast) looks unusual, but I don't
see any shorter expression, so it is fine.

Kevin and I decided not to.  We both would've like to get a sane,
QAPIfied --chardev for qemu-storage-daemon in 5.2, but neither of the
proposed solutions inspires sufficient confidence to rush it in at this
point.

Kevin dislikes the "Do not add to 'data'" part.  It's needed because
chardev_options_crumple() open-codes the conversion of all local
members.

Vague idea: conversion visitor.  Similar to clone, except you can hook a
conversion function into the cloning of certain members.

Perhaps less ambitious: somehow make the build fail when you add local
members without updating chardev_options_crumple().

Kevin also dislikes the schema duplication.  His solution avoids it by
generating both flat and nested from the same schema.  I doubt it's
worthwhile, because there ist just one QAPI type in need of it.  A more
widely applicable evolution of the idea might be more useful, but also
still more complex.

Kevin's generator-based approach has another advantage: it enables
deprecation of the nested form.  On the one hand, I'd love to get rid of
it.  On the other hand, it's just syntactical cleanup, and whether
making the syntax neater and more consistent outweighs the pain of
changing things seems doubtful.
