A NULL qobj can occur when a parameter is fetched via qdict_get, but
the parameter is not in the command. By returning NULL, the caller can
choose whether to raise a missing parameter error, an invalid parameter
type error, or use a default value. For example, qom-set could can
use this to reset a property to its default value, though at this time
it will fail with "Invalid parameter type". In any case, anything is
better than crashing!

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.

A type of Visiter class that is used to walk a qobject's
structure and assign each entry to the corresponding native C type.
Command marshaling function will use this to pull out QMP command
parameters recieved over the wire and pass them as native arguments
to the corresponding C functions.
