John Snow 6560379fac python: add Makefile for some common tasks
Add "make venv" to create the pipenv-managed virtual environment that
contains our explicitly pinned dependencies.

Add "make check" to run the python linters [in the host execution
environment].

Add "make venv-check" which combines the above two: create/update the
venv, then run the linters in that explicitly managed environment.

Add "make develop" which canonizes the runes needed to get both the
linting pre-requisites (the "[devel]" part), and the editable
live-install (the "-e" part) of these python libraries.

make clean: delete miscellaneous python packaging output possibly
created by pipenv, pip, or other python packaging utilities

make distclean: delete the above, the .venv, and the editable "qemu"
package forwarder (qemu.egg-info) if there is one.

QEMU Python Tooling
===================
This package provides QEMU tooling used by the QEMU project to build,
configure, and test QEMU. It is not a fully-fledged SDK and it is subject
to change at any time.
Usage
-----
The ``qemu.qmp`` subpackage provides a library for communicating with
QMP servers. The ``qemu.machine`` subpackage offers rudimentary
facilities for launching and managing QEMU processes. Refer to each
package's documentation
(``>>> help(qemu.qmp)``, ``>>> help(qemu.machine)``)
for more information.
Contributing
------------
This package is maintained by John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com> as part of
the QEMU source tree. Contributions are welcome and follow the `QEMU
patch submission process
<https://wiki.qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch>`_, which involves
sending patches to the QEMU development mailing list.
John maintains a `GitLab staging branch
<https://gitlab.com/jsnow/qemu/-/tree/python>`_, and there is an
official `GitLab mirror <https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu>`_.
Please report bugs on the `QEMU issue tracker
<https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues>`_ and tag ``@jsnow`` in
the report.
Optional packages necessary for running code quality analysis for this
package can be installed with the optional dependency group "devel":
``pip install qemu[devel]``.
``make develop`` can be used to install this package in editable mode
(to the current environment) *and* bring in testing dependencies in one
command.
``make check`` can be used to run the available tests.
