qapi: Tighten the regex on valid names
We already documented that qapi names should match specific
patterns (such as starting with a letter unless it was an enum
value or a downstream extension). Tighten that from a suggestion
into a hard requirement, which frees up names beginning with a
single underscore for qapi internal usage.

The tighter regex doesn't forbid everything insane that a user
could provide (for example, a user could name a type 'Foo-lookup'
to collide with the generated 'Foo_lookup[]' for an enum 'Foo'),
but does a good job at protecting the most obvious uses, and
also happens to reserve single leading underscore for later use.

The handling of enum values starting with a digit is tricky:
commit 9fb081e introduced a subtle bug by using c_name() on
a munged value, which would allow an enum to include the
member 'q-int' in spite of our reservation. Furthermore,
munging with a leading '_' would fail our tighter regex. So
fix it by only munging for leading digits (which are never
ticklish in c_name()) and by using a different prefix (I
picked 'D', although any letter should do).

Add new tests, reserved-member-underscore and reserved-enum-q,
to demonstrate the tighter checking.
