Subject: [PATCH] qapi-visit: Simplify how we visit common union members

For a simple union SU, gen_visit_union() generates a visit of its
single tag member, like this:

    visit_type_SUKind(v, "type", &(*obj)->type, &err);

For a flat union FU with base B, it generates a visit of its base
fields:

    visit_type_B_fields(v, (B **)obj, &err);

Instead, we can simply visit the common members using the same fields
visit function we use for structs, generated with
gen_visit_struct_fields().  This function visits the base if any, then
the local members.

For a simple union SU, visit_type_SU_fields() contains exactly the old
tag member visit, because there is no base, and the tag member is the
only member.  For instance, the code generated for qapi-schema.json's
KeyValue changes like this:

    +static void visit_type_KeyValue_fields(Visitor *v, KeyValue **obj, Error **errp)
    +{
    +    Error *err = NULL;
    +
    +    visit_type_KeyValueKind(v, "type", &(*obj)->type, &err);
    +    if (err) {
    +        goto out;
    +    }
    +
    +out:
    +    error_propagate(errp, err);
    +}
    +

         Error *err = NULL;

For a flat union FU, visit_type_FU_fields() contains exactly the old
base fields visit, because there is a base, but no members.  For

As you see, the generated code grows a bit, but in practice, it's lost
in the noise: qapi-schema.json's qapi-visit.c gains roughly 1%.

This simplification became possible with commit 441cbac "qapi-visit:
Convert to QAPISchemaVisitor, fixing bugs".  It's a step towards
unifying gen_struct() and gen_union().
