In some cases an input visitor might bail out on filling out a
struct for various reasons, such as missing fields when running
in strict mode. In the case of a QAPI Union type, this may lead
to cases where the .kind field which encodes the union type
is uninitialized. Subsequently, other visitors, such as the
dealloc visitor, may use this .kind value as if it were
initialized, leading to assumptions about the union type which
in this case may lead to segfaults. For example, freeing an
integer value.
However, we can generally rely on the fact that the always-present
.data void * field that we generate for these union types will
always be NULL in cases where .kind is uninitialized (at least,
there shouldn't be a reason where we'd do this purposefully).
So pass this information on to Visitor implementation via these
optional start_union/end_union interfaces so this information
can be used to guard against the situation above. We will make
use of this information in a subsequent patch for the dealloc
visitor.

We commonly use the error API like this:
err = NULL;
foo(..., &err);
if (err) {
goto out;
}
bar(..., &err);
Every error source is checked separately. The second function is only
called when the first one succeeds. Both functions are free to pass
their argument to error_set(). Because error_set() asserts no error
has been set, this effectively means they must not be called with an
error set.
The qapi-generated code uses the error API differently:
// *errp was initialized to NULL somewhere up the call chain
frob(..., errp);
gnat(..., errp);
Errors accumulate in *errp: first error wins, subsequent errors get
dropped. To make this work, the second function does nothing when
called with an error set. Requires non-null errp, or else the second
function can't see the first one fail.
This usage has also bled into visitor tests, and two device model
object property getters rtc_get_date() and balloon_stats_get_all().
With the "accumulate" technique, you need fewer error checks in
callers, and buy that with an error check in every callee. Can be
nice.
However, mixing the two techniques is confusing. You can't use the
"accumulate" technique with functions designed for the "check
separately" technique. You can use the "check separately" technique
with functions designed for the "accumulate" technique, but then
error_set() can't catch you setting an error more than once.
Standardize on the "check separately" technique for now, because it's
overwhelmingly prevalent.

Semantics of end_optional() differ subtly from the other end_FOO()
callbacks: when start_FOO() succeeds, the matching end_FOO() gets
called regardless of what happens in between. end_optional() gets
called only when everything in between succeeds as well. Entirely
undocumented, like all of the visitor API.
The only user of Visitor Callback end_optional() never did anything,
and was removed in commit 9f9ab46.
I'm about to clean up error handling in the generated visitor code,
and end_optional() is in my way. No users mean no test cases, and
making non-trivial cleanup transformations without test cases doesn't
strike me as a good idea.
Drop end_optional(), and rename start_optional() to optional(). We
can always go back to a pair of callbacks when we have an actual need.

Currently visit_type_size checks if the visitor's type_size function pointer is
NULL. If not, it calls it, otherwise it calls v->type_uint64(). But neither of
these pointers are ever set. Fallback to calling v->type_int() in this third
(default) case.

The discriminator for anonymous unions is the data type. This allows to
have a union type that allows both of these:
{ 'file': 'my_existing_block_device_id' }
{ 'file': { 'filename': '/tmp/mydisk.qcow2', 'read-only': true } }
Unions like this are specified in the schema with an empty dict as
discriminator. For this example you could take:
{ 'union': 'BlockRef',
'discriminator': {},
'data': { 'definition': 'BlockOptions',
'reference': 'str' } }
{ 'type': 'ExampleObject',
'data: { 'file': 'BlockRef' } }

This adds visitor interfaces for fixed-width integers types.
Implementing these in visitors is optional, otherwise we fall back to
visit_type_int() (int64_t) with some additional bounds checking to avoid
integer overflows for cases where the value fetched exceeds the bounds
of our target C type.

Includes a GenericList type. Our lists require an embedded element.
Since these types are generated, if you want to use them in a different
type of data structure, there's no easy way to add another embedded
