Rather than open-code the check for a valid base type, we
should reuse the common functionality. This allows for
consistent error messages, and also makes it easier for a
later patch to turn on support for inline anonymous base
structures.
Test flat-union-inline is updated to test only one feature
(anonymous branch dictionaries), which can be implemented
independently (test flat-union-bad-base already covers the
idea of an anonymous base dictionary).

Expose some weaknesses in the generator: we don't always forbid
the generation of structs that contain multiple members that map
to the same C or QMP name. This has already been marked FIXME in
qapi.py in commit d90675f, but having more tests will make sure
future patches produce desired behavior; and updating existing
patches to better document things doesn't hurt, either. Some of
these collisions are already caught in the old-style parser
checks, but ultimately we want all collisions to be caught in the
new-style QAPISchema*.check() methods.
This patch focuses on C struct members, and does not consider
collisions between commands and events (affecting C function
names), or even collisions between generated C type names with
user type names (for things like automatic FOOList struct
representing array types or FOOKind for an implicit enum).
There are two types of struct collisions we want to catch:
1) Collision between two keys in a JSON object. qapi.py prevents
that within a single struct (see test duplicate-key), but it is
possible to have collisions between a type's members and its
base type's members (existing tests struct-base-clash,
struct-base-clash-deep), and its flat union variant members
(renamed test flat-union-clash-member).
2) Collision between two members of the C struct that is generated
for a given QAPI type:
a) Multiple QAPI names map to the same C name (new test
args-name-clash)
b) A QAPI name maps to a C name that is used for another purpose
(new tests flat-union-clash-branch, struct-base-clash-base,
union-clash-data). We already fixed some such cases in commit
0f61af3e and 1e6c1616, but more remain.
c) Two C names generated for other purposes clash
(updated test alternate-clash, new test union-clash-branches,
union-clash-type, flat-union-clash-type)
Ultimately, if we need to have a flat union where a tag value
clashes with a base member name, we could change the generator to
name the union (using 'foo.u.value' rather than 'foo.value') or
otherwise munge the C name corresponding to tag values. But
unless such a need arises, it will probably be easier to just
forbid these collisions.
Some of these negative tests will be deleted later, and positive
tests added to qapi-schema-test.json in their place, when the
generator code is reworked to avoid particular code generation
collisions in class 2).
[Note that viewing this patch with git rename detection enabled
may see some confusion due to renaming some tests while adding
others, but where the content is similar enough that git picks
the wrong pre- and post-patch files to associate]

[Improve commit message and comments a bit, drop an unrelated test]

Referring to "type" as both a meta-type (built-in, enum, union,
alternate, or struct) and a specific type (the name that the
schema uses for declaring structs) is confusing. The confusion
is only made worse by the fact that the generator mostly already
refers to struct even when dealing with expr['type']. This
commit changes the generator to consistently refer to it as
struct everywhere, plus a single back-compat tweak that allows
accepting the existing .json files as-is, so that the meat of
this change is separate from the mindless churn of that change.
Fix the testsuite fallout for error messages that change, and
in some cases, become more legible. Improve comments to better
match our intentions where a struct (rather than any complex
type) is required. Note that in some cases, an error message
now refers to 'struct' while the schema still refers to 'type';
that will be cleaned up in the later commit to the schema.

Demonstrate that the qapi generator doesn't deal well with unions
that aren't up to par. Later patches will update the expected
reseults as the generator is made stricter. A few tests work
as planned, but most show poor or missing error messages.
Of particular note, qapi-code-gen.txt documents 'base' only for
flat unions, but the tests here demonstrate that we currently allow
a 'base' to a simple union, although it is exercised only in the
testsuite. Later patches will remove this undocumented feature, to
give us more flexibility in adding other future extensions to union
types. For example, one possible extension is the idea of a
type-safe simple enum, where added fields tie the discriminator to
a user-defined enum type rather than creating an implicit enum from
the names in 'data'. But adding such safety on top of a simple
enum with a base type could look ambiguous with a flat enum;
besides, the documentation also mentions how any simple union can
be represented by an equivalent flat union. So it will be simpler
to just outlaw support for something we aren't using.
