Right now, help options are parsed normally and then checked
specially in opt_validate. but only if coming from
qemu_opts_parse or qemu_opts_parse_noisily.
Move the check from opt_validate to the common workhorses
of qemu_opts_parse and qemu_opts_parse_noisily, opts_do_parse
and get_opt_name_value.

As a result, opts_parse and opts_do_parse do not return an error anymore
when help is requested---just like qemu_opts_parse_noisily.

This will come in handy in the next patch, which will
raise a warning for "-object memory-backend-ram,share"
("flag" option with no =on/=off part) but not for
"-object memory-backend-ram,help".

Two callers, one passes null (trivial: no change), one non-null (more
interesting).

Behavior before the patch is rather peculiar:

* The caller needs to opt into the help syntax by passing non-null
  @help_wanted.

* A request for help is recognized only when the option name is not
  recognized.  Two cases:

  - When @opts accepts anything, we ignore cries for help.

  - Else, we recognize it only when there is no option named "help".

* A help request is an ordinary option parameter (possibly sugared)
  where the parameter name is a "help option" (i.e. "help" or "?"), and
  the value doesn't matter.

  Examples:
  - "help=..."
  - "help" (sugar for "help=on")
  - "nohelp" (sugar for "help=off")
  - "?=..."
  - "?" (sugar for "?=on")
  - "no?" (sugar for "?=off")

* A request for help is treated as an error: we set @errp and return
  false.

This function parses one parameter from @params into @name, @value, and
returns a pointer to the next parameter, or else to the terminating
'\0'.

Funny: it cannot fail.  QemuOpts is an indiscriminate omnivore ;)

The patch does two separate things:

1. It streamlines how we look ahead to '=', ',' or '\0'.

   Three cases: '=' comes first, '-' comes first, '\0' comes first.

   Before the patch: !pe || (pc && pc < pe) means there is no '=', or
   else there is ',' and it's before '='.  In other words, '=' does not
   come first.

   After the patch: params[len] != '=' where len = strcspn(params, "=,")
   means '=' does not come first.

   Okay, but make it a separate patch, please.

   The ,more in both comments is slightly misleading.  Observation, not
   demand.

2. Optional parsing of help (opt in by passing non-null @help_wanted).

   I wonder why this is opt-in.  I trust that'll become clear further
   down.

   If @params starts with "help option", and it's followed by ',' or
   '\0', set *help_wanted instead of *name and *value.  Okay.

   The function needed a written contract before, and now it needs it
   more.  Observation, not demand.

This is the interesting caller.

Before the patch:

* Success: add an option paramter to @opts, return true.

* Help wanted (only if caller opts in): set *help_wanted, set error,
  return false

* Error: set error, return false.

The patch changes two things:

1. We no longer set an error when the user asks for help.  Checking the
   callers:

   - qemu_opts_do_parse() is not affected, because it passes null
     @help_wanted.

   - opts_parse() passes on the change to its callers:

     * qemu_opts_parse() is not affected, because it passes null
       @help_wanted.

     * qemu_opts_parse_noisily() is affected; see below.

2. We only recognize "help" and "?".  We no longer recognize
   "help=...". "?=...", "nohelp", and "no?".  I'm okay with the change,
   but it needs to be explained in the commit message.  You decide
   whether to cover it in release notes.

opts_parse() parses an entire option argument.  It returns the value of
option parameter "id".  Everything else gets thrown away.

Note for later: your patch makes it opt out of help syntax.

has_help_option() parses an entire option argument.

Same syntax change as in opts_do_parse().

Since opts_parse() no longer sets an error when the user asks for help,
this function needs an update.  Okay.


Now let's get back to "I wonder why this is opt-in?"

Only one caller does not opt in: opts_parse_id().  I'd try making the
help syntax unconditional.  get_opt_name_value() gets a bit simpler,
opts_parse_id() may get a bit more complex.  I'd expect that to be a
good trade.


QemuOpts patches tend to look more innocent than they are.  This one's
no exception :)

Like opt_validate() before, this sets *help_wanted only to true.
Callers must pass a pointer to false.  Perhaps having it set
*help_wanted always could simplify things overall.  Up to you.
