[v4,0/3] plugins: generate list of symbols automatically

Message

Now that meson build for plugins was merged, we can cleanup another part with
the symbols file.
It has to be kept in sync between the header (qemu-plugin.h) and the symbols
file. This has proved to be error prone and tedious.

We solve this by generating this list from header directly using a python
script. Dependencies are triggered correctly, and the file is regenerated if the
header is modified, as expected.

v4:
fix second patch to apply cleanly on master (was applied from a previous series
to enable windows clang build before).

Pierrick Bouvier (3):
  plugins: add missing export for qemu_plugin_num_vcpus
  plugins: detect qemu plugin API symbols from header
  plugins: eradicate qemu-plugins.symbols static file
