qapi-visit: Fix generated code when schema has forward refs

The visit_type_implicit_FOO() are generated on demand, right before
their first use.  Used by visit_type_STRUCT_fields() when STRUCT has
base FOO, and by visit_type_UNION() when flat UNION has member a FOO.

If the schema defines FOO after its first use as struct base or flat
union member, visit_type_implicit_FOO() calls
visit_type_implicit_FOO() before its definition, which doesn't
compile.

Rearrange qapi-schema-test.json to demonstrate the bug.

Fix by generating the necessary forward declaration.
