Hi,

This is kind of a selfish series. I'm really tired to grep
and read this comment from 2015 in qapi/qmp/qerror.h:
      /*
       * These macros will go away, please don't use
       * in new code, and do not add new ones!
       */

Besides, these definitions are still added in recent code
(see for example commit 09f9ec9913 from June 2023). So
let's finish with this 8 years old technical debt.

Overall it took me 3h: 1h to find the correct Coccinelle
doc about Python use and read it again [*], then 1h to
adapt the script for each patch, rest is testing and
writing comments, so the scripts used could be used as
reference later.

Regards,

Phil.
