qapi: Finish 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 back end for a series that converts to a
saner qapi union layout.  Now that all clients have been
converted to use 'type' and 'obj->u.value', we can drop the
temporary parallel support for 'kind' and 'obj->value'.

Given a simple union qapi type:

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

this is the overall effect, when compared to the state before
this series of patches:

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

The testsuite still contains some examples of artificial restrictions
(see flat-union-clash-type.json, for example) that are no longer
technically necessary, now that there is no longer a collision between
enum tag values and non-variant member names; but fixing this will be
done in later patches, in part because some further changes are required
to keep QAPISchema*.check() from asserting.  Also, a later patch will
add a reservation for the member name 'u' to avoid a collision between a
user's non-variant names and our internal choice of C union name.

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.
