[v3,12/63] docs/qapi-domain: add QAPIObject class

Commit Message

John Snow March 11, 2025, 3:42 a.m. UTC

This patch adds another abstract class that describes "a QAPI
thingie". The main difference here is that this class will be generating
visible documentation, unlike the QAPIDescription class.
