Hi, this series does a few things, but it's ultimately in service of
dropping the python qemu.qmp package from the qemu.git tree in favor of
using the standalone package instead, to prevent any further issues from
the two codebases diverging.

v2:

 - move "make check-venv" earlier in GitLab CI/CD pipeline, to avoid
   re-running configure
 - Fix functional tests not using PyPI to fetch pygdbmi package
 - Remove pre-requisites which are now merged

I think this series is probably close, but with some attention needed on
the mkvenv packages to allow installing the local python
packages. Everything else feels good-to-go, as far as I can tell.

(Cool diffstat.)

  Hi John,

I gave the series a try in the CI, but the macOS and FreeBSD jobs are 
failing now:

  https://gitlab.com/thuth/qemu/-/jobs/12211713065
  https://gitlab.com/thuth/qemu/-/jobs/12211713061

Have a look at .gitlab-ci.d/cirrus/README.rst if you want to enable these 
jobs in your gitlab CI, too.

  HTH,
   Thomas

Ah, nuts. OK, let me get those and then I'll apply any of your RBs that
still apply.

Thanks for the check.
