qapi: Anonymous unions

The discriminator for anonymous unions is the data type. This allows to
have a union type that allows both of these:

{ 'file': 'my_existing_block_device_id' }

qapi: Flat unions with arbitrary discriminator

Instead of the rather verbose syntax that distinguishes base and

  • call start_list
  • call next_list for each element including the first
  • on the first call to next_list, the second argument should point to
