qapi: untie 'if' conditions from C preprocessor

Hi,

This series makes the 'if' conditions less liberal, by formalizing a simple
expression tree based on bare boolean logic of configure option identifiers.

(this will allow to express conditions in Rust in my QAPI-Rust PoC series, but
it is worth a standalone post)

This is based on John Snow QAPI cleanup branch:

thanks

v4:
 - keep gen_if/gen_endif in common.py, reducing C codegen in schema.py
 - raise NotImplemented instead of False for unhandled __eq__
 - change check_if() to keep the json/raw form, add _make_if() to build a
   QAPISchemaIfCond
 - improve __repr__ usage
 - drop ABC usage
 - tweaks here and there
 - add various commit tags

v3:
 - rebasing on queued pt4 (after waiting for it to land)
 - improve documentation generation, to be more human-friendly
 - drop typing annotations from schema.py (not yet queued)
 - commit message tweaks

v2:
 - fix the normalization step to handle recursive expr
 - replace IfCond by QAPISchemaIf (JohnS)
 - commit message and documentation tweaks
 - mypy/flake8/isort
