qapi: Touch generated files only when they change
A massive number of objects depends on QAPI-generated headers. In my "build everything" tree, it's roughly 4800 out of 5100. This is particularly annoying when only some of the generated files change, say for a doc fix. Improve qapi-gen.py to touch its output files only if they actually change. Rebuild time for a QAPI doc fix drops from many minutes to a few seconds. Rebuilds get faster for certain code changes, too. For instance, adding a simple QMP event now recompiles less than 200 instead of 4800 objects. But adding a QAPI type is as bad as ever; we've clearly got more work to do.
