Eric Blake f51d8fab44 qapi: Start converting to new qapi union layout
We have two issues with our qapi union layout:
1) Even though the QMP wire format spells the tag 'type', the
C code spells it 'kind', requiring some hacks in the generator.
2) The C struct uses an anonymous union, which places all tag
values in the same namespace as all non-variant members. This
leads to spurious collisions if a tag value matches a non-variant
member's name.

This patch is the front end for a series that converts to a
saner qapi union layout.  By the end of the series, we will no
longer have the type/kind mismatch, and all tag values will be
under a named union, which requires clients to access
'obj->u.value' instead of 'obj->value'.  But since the
conversion touches a number of files, it is easiest if we
temporarily support BOTH layouts simultaneously.

Given a simple union qapi type:

{ 'union':'Foo', 'data': { 'a':'int', 'b':'bool' } }

make the following changes in generated qapi-types.h:

| struct Foo {
|-    FooKind kind;
|-    union { /* union tag is @kind */
|+    union {
|+        FooKind kind;
|+        FooKind type;
|+    };
|+    union { /* union tag is @type */
|         void *data;
|         int64_t a;
|         bool b;
|+        union { /* union tag is @type */
|+            void *data;
|+            int64_t a;
|+            bool b;
|+        } u;
|     };
| };

Flat unions do not need the anonymous union for the tag member,
as we already fixed that to use the member name instead of 'kind'
back in commit 0f61af3e.

One additional change is needed in qapi.py: check_union() now
needs to check for collisions with 'type' in addition to those
with 'kind'.

Later, when the conversions are complete, we will remove the
duplication hacks, and also drop the check_union() restrictions.

Note, however, that we do not rename the generated enum, which
is still 'FooKind'.  A further patch could generate implicit
enums as 'FooType', but while the generator already reserved
the '*Kind' namespace (commit 4dc2e69), there are already QMP
constructs with '*Type' naming, which means changing our
reservation namespace would have lots of churn to C code to
deal with a forced name change.
