To recover, I have to run qapi-gen.py manually and exactly right, or
blow away the build tree and start over.
The old build system did what a build system should: it remade the files
that are missing or out of date.
I'm still too clueless about Meson to debug this, but I hope I can learn
from watching you fix it.
