[PATCH 07/37] qapi: add pylintrc

[John Snow]

Add a skeleton pylintrc file. Right now, it ignores quite a few things.
Files will be removed from the known-bad list throughout this and
following series as they are repaired.

Note: Normally, pylintrc would go in the folder above the module, but as
that folder is shared by many things, it is going inside the module
folder now.

Due to some bugs in different versions of pylint (2.5.x), pylint does
not correctly recognize when it is being run from "inside" a module, and
must be run *outside* of the module.

Therefore, to run it, you must:

 > cd :/qemu/scripts
 > pylint qapi/ --rcfile=qapi/pylintrc
