Libguestfs - Apr 2023 - [libnbd PATCH 0/3] start wrapping generated C source code harder at 80 chars

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2172516

This is my first stab at wrapping generated C source code "harder" at
80
characters. The first two patches only tweak "scripts/git.orderfile".
The last patch modifies the generator. I'm posting the last patch
effectively in isolation (from any other generator patches) so we can
agree on the approach up-front, before I do more work.

Laszlo Ersek (3):
  scripts/git.orderfile: drop "generator/generator"
  scripts/git.orderfile: put *.mli first among generator files
  generator: indent C argument list 2 spaces relative to function
    designator

base-commit: 86820dbab49723d8ce3182fb0b94f3006f151b57

Since commit 33f6d55891f2 ("generator: Split the generator script into
separate files and compile it.", 2020-02-29),
"generator/generator" has
been a binary file and has not been tracked under version control; the
commit even added "generator/generator" to ".gitignore".
Therefore, we
don't expect "generator/generator" to show up in any patches; drop
it from
"scripts/git.orderfile".

Similarly to how we put *.h (i.e., interface) files first among C-language
source code, move *.mli to the top of the (OCaml-language) generator
files in patches.

Change the optional "parens" parameter of "print_arg_list"
from bool to a
new union type. The new union type has three data constructors, NoParens
(matching the previous "false" value), ParensSameLine (matching the
previous "true" value), and a third constructor called
"ParensNewLine",
which wraps an "int". [ParensNewLine n] stands for the following
formatting construct (with wrapping):
> ret_type foobar (
>            type1 param1, type2 param2, type3 param3, type4 param4,
>            type5 param5
>          );
> <---n--->
and without wrapping:
> ret_type foobar (
>            type1 param1, type2 param2, type3 param3, type4 param4, type5
param5
>          );
> <---n--->
Capture "n" (that is, the 0-based column where the function designator
starts) in "print_call", and put the new formatting to use.

In effect, still utilize "pr_wrap", for wrapping the argument list at
comma (",") characters, but shift the left hand side of the wrapped
block
from the end of the function designator near the front of it.

The use case is: if "foobar" is long, and at least one
"typeN" is also
long, previously we would get
> ret_type extremely_long_verbose_foobar (extremely_long_verbose_type1
param1,
>                                         type2 param2, type3 param3,
>                                         type4 param4, type5 param5);
That is, the first wrapping opportunity on a particular line would be too
late already, making the source code too wide.

This patch changes the generated files "include/libnbd.h" and
"lib/unlocked.h". Taking the declaration responsible for the longest
line
in each of those header files, the declaration is reformatted as shown
below:

[include/libnbd.h]

> -                                                  char **queries,

Update the GoLang generator to stick with "no parens".
