Markus Armbruster 1f5842487a qapi: Only input visitors can actually fail
The previous few commits have made this more obvious, and removed the
one exception.  Time to clarify the documentation, and drop dead error
checking.

/*
* This file describes the callback interface for implementing a QAPI
* visitor. For the client interface, see visitor.h. When
* implementing the callbacks, it is easiest to declare a struct with
* 'Visitor visitor;' as the first member. A callback's contract
* matches the corresponding public functions' contract unless stated
* otherwise. In the comments below, some callbacks are marked "must
* be set for $TYPE visits to work"; if a visitor implementation omits
* that callback, it should also document that it is only useful for a
* subset of QAPI.
*/
/*
* There are four classes of visitors; setting the class determines
* how QAPI enums are visited, as well as what additional restrictions
* can be asserted. The values are intentionally chosen so as to
* permit some assertions based on whether a given bit is set (that
* is, some assertions apply to input and clone visitors, some
* assertions apply to output and clone visitors).
