qapi: Better error messages for bad expressions The previous commit demonstrated that the generator overlooked some fairly basic broken expressions: - missing metataype - metatype key has a non-string value - unknown key in relation to the metatype - conflicting metatype (this patch treats the second metatype as an unknown key of the first key visited, which is not necessarily the first key the user typed) Add check_keys to cover these situations, and update testcases to match. A couple other tests (enum-missing-data, indented-expr) had to change since the validation added here occurs so early. Conversely, changes to ident-with-escape results show that we still have problems where our handling of escape sequences differs from true JSON, which will matter down the road if we allow arbitrary default string values for optional parameters (but for now is not too bad, as we currently can avoid unicode escaping as we don't need to represent anything beyond C identifier material). While valid .json files won't trigger any of these cases, we might as well be nicer to developers that make a typo while trying to add new QAPI code.

qapi: Add some expr tests Demonstrate that the qapi generator doesn't deal well with expressions that aren't up to par. Later patches will improve the expected results as the generator is made stricter. Only a few of the the added tests actually behave sanely at rejecting obvious problems or demonstrating success. Note that in some cases, we reject bad QAPI merely because our pseudo-JSON parser does not yet know how to parse numbers. This series does not address that, but when a later series adds support for numeric defaults of integer fields, the testsuite will ensure that we don't lose the error (and hopefully that the error message quality is improved).
