Right now, the semantics of next_list are complicated. The caller must:
* call start_list
* call next_list for each element *including the first*
* on the first call to next_list, the second argument should point to
NULL and the result is the head of the list. On subsequent calls,
the second argument should point to the last node (last result of
next_list) and next_list itself tacks the element at the tail of the
list.
This works for both input and output visitor, but having the visitor
write memory when it is only reading the list is ugly. Plus, relying
on *list to detect the first call is tricky and undocumented.
We can initialize so->entry in next_list instead of start_list, leaving
it NULL in start_list. This way next_list sees clearly whether it is
on the first call---as a bonus, it discriminates the cases based on
internal state of the visitor rather than external state. We can
also pull the assignment of the list head from generated code up to
next_list.

Objects going through the dealloc visitor can be only partially allocated.
Detect the situation and avoid a segfault. This also helps with the
input visitor, when there are errors.

We can exit very soon if we enter a visitor with a preexisting error.
This simplifies some cases because we will not have to deal with
obj being non-NULL while *obj is NULL.

The fixes to qapi code generation had multiple bugs:
- the Null class used to drop output was missing some methods
- in some scripts it was never instantiated, leading to a None return,
which is missing even more methods
- the --source and --header options were swapped
Luckily, all those bugs were hidden by a makefile bug which caused the
old behaviour (with the race) to be invoked.

Make's multiple output syntax
x.c x.h: x.template
gen < x.template
actually invokes the command once for x.c and once for x.h (with differing $@
in each invocation). During a parallel build, the two commands may be invoked
in parallel; this opens up a race, where the second invocation trashes a file
supposedly produced during the first, and now in use by a dependent command.
The various qapi code generators are susceptible to this; fix by making them
generate just one file per invocation.

Modify logic such that we never assign values to the list head argument
to progress through the list on subsequent iterations, instead rely only
on having our return value passed back in as an argument on the next
call. Also update QMP I/O visitors and test cases accordingly, and add a
missing test case for QmpOutputVisitor.

This is the code generator for qapi visiter functions used to
marshal/unmarshal/dealloc qapi types. It generates the following 2
files:
$(prefix)qapi-visit.c: visiter function for a particular c type, used
to automagically convert qobjects into the
corresponding C type and vice-versa, and well
as for deallocation memory for an existing C
type
$(prefix)qapi-visit.h: declarations for previously mentioned visiter
functions
$(prefix) is used as decribed for qapi-types.py
