[v3,0/4] compare machine type compat_props

Message

This script is necessary to choose the best machine type in the
appropriate cases. Also we have to check compat_props of the old MT
after changes to be sure that they haven't broken old the MT. For
example, pc_compat_3_1 of pc-q35-3.1 has Icelake-Client which was
removed in March.

v3 -> v2:
* simplify adding new methods for getting QEMU default values
* add typing
* change concept from fixed dictionaries to classes

v2 -> v1:
* fix script code style and descriptions
* reorder patches
 
v1 -> previous iteration:
* new default value print concept
* QEMU python library is used to collect qmp data
* remove auxiliary patches (that was used to fix `->get` sematics)
* print compat_props in the correct order
* delete `absract` field to reduce output JSON size

Maksim Davydov (4):
  qom: add default value
  python/qmp: increase read buffer size
  qmp: add dump machine type compatible properties
  scripts: add script to compare compatible properties
