[PATCH 0/3] python/qemu: strictly typed mypy conversion, pt3

[John Snow]

This is actually quite short; it's already fully typed. Attached are two
fixes for settimeout and error handling. There are actually more fixes
that need to be made here, because use of readline() in non-blocking
mode is actually undefined behavior, so a more thorough re-work of the
error classes used by this library must be put on hold pending a more
aggressive re-write.

That's a problem for later, so for now, call the initial conversion to
the statically typed subset of python done so we can move on to adding
the regression tests that will maintain this baseline for us.

[PATCH 1/3] python: add mypy config

[John Snow]

Formalize the options used for checking the python library. You can run
mypy from the directory that mypy.ini is in by typing `mypy qemu/`.

[PATCH 2/3] python/qemu/qmp.py: re-raise OSError when encountered

[John Snow]

Nested if conditions don't change when the exception block fires; we
need to explicitly re-raise the error if we didn't intend to capture and
suppress it.

[PATCH 3/3] python/qemu/qmp.py: Fix settimeout operation

[John Snow]

We enabled callers to interface directly with settimeout, but this
reacts poorly with blocking/nonblocking operation; as they are using the
same internal mechanism.

1. Whenever we change the blocking mechanism temporarily, always set it
back to what it was afterwards.

2. Disallow callers from setting a timeout of "0", which means
Non-blocking mode. This is going to create more weird problems than
anybody wants, so just forbid it.

I opt not to coerce '0' to 'None' to maintain the principal of least
surprise in mirroring the semantics of Python's interface.

Thanks -- tentatively staging to my Python branch. I intend to send a PR 
on Friday, so if there's more feedback, there's plenty of time.
