Would it make sense to rename all of our files from .json to .qapi?
Then it is obvious that we are using a homegrown syntax; and it is also
easy enough to tweak things like .dir-locals.el to recognize that suffix
as triggering specific formatting rules.  Git rename detection means it
is still reasonable to blame across file renames.
