api: provide api definition over api
This patch allows a client to bootstrap itself by downloading the JSON API definitions over the API itself. This patch enables it for Python (probably need a dynamic language). Call VPPApiClient with the new bootstrapapi=True parameter. Example (Python): from vpp_papi import VPPApiClient vpp = VPPApiClient(bootstrapapi=True) rv = vpp.connect("foobar") assert rv == 0 print(f'SHOW VERSION: {vpp.api.show_version()}') vpp.disconnect() Type: feature Change-Id: Id903fdccc82b2e22aa1994331d2c150253f2ccae Signed-off-by: Ole Troan <otroan@employees.org>
