Eric Blake c7eb39cbd4 qapi: Improve use of qmp/types.h
'qjson.h' is not a QObject subtype; include this file directly in
.c files that are using it, rather than abusing qmp/types.h for
that purpose.

Meanwhile, for files that include a list of individual QObject
subtypes, it's easier to just use qmp/types.h for that purpose.

Peter Maydell f2ad72b30e qobject: Clean up includes
Clean up includes so that osdep.h is included first and headers
which it implies are not included manually.

Eric Blake 7264f5c50c qapi: Convert QType into QAPI built-in enum type
What's more meta than using qapi to define qapi? :)

Convert QType into a full-fledged[*] builtin qapi enum type, so
that a subsequent patch can then use it as the discriminator
type of qapi alternate types.  Fortunately, the judicious use of
'prefix' in the qapi definition avoids churn to the spelling of
the enum constants.

To avoid circular definitions, we have to flip the order of
inclusion between "qobject.h" vs. "qapi-types.h".  Back in commit
28770e0, we had the latter include the former, so that we could
use 'QObject *' for our implementation of 'any'.  But that usage
also works with only a forward declaration, whereas the
definition of QObject requires QType to be a complete type.

[*] The type has to be builtin, rather than declared in
qapi/common.json, because we want to use it for alternates even
when common.json is not included. But since it is the first
builtin enum type, we have to add special cases to qapi-types
and qapi-visit to only emit definitions once, even when two
qapi files are being compiled into the same binary (the way we
already handled builtin list types like 'intList').  We may
need to revisit how multiple qapi files share common types,
but that's a project for another day.

Eric Blake 55e1819c50 qobject: Simplify QObject
The QObject hierarchy is small enough, and unlikely to grow further
(since we only use it to map to JSON and already cover all JSON
types), that we can simplify things by not tracking a separate
vtable, but just inline the code element of the vtable QType
directly into QObject (renamed to type), and track a separate array
of destroy functions.  We can drop qnull_destroy_obj() in the
process.

The remaining QObject subclasses must export their destructor.

This also has the nice benefit of moving the typename 'QType'
out of the way, so that the next patch can repurpose it for a
nicer name for 'qtype_code'.

The various objects are still the same size (so no change in cache
line pressure), but now have less indirection (although I didn't
bother benchmarking to see if there is a noticeable speedup, as
we don't have hard evidence that this was in a performance hotspot
in the first place).

A future patch could drop the refcnt size to 32 bits for a smaller
struct on 64-bit architectures, if desired (we have limits on the
largest JSON that we are willing to parse, and will probably never
need to take full advantage of a 64-bit refcnt).
