qapi: Guarantee NULL obj on input visitor callback error
Our existing input visitors were not very consistent on errors in a
function taking 'TYPE **obj'. These are start_struct(),
start_alternate(), type_str(), and type_any(). next_list() is
similar, but can't fail (see commit 08f9541). While all of them set
'*obj' to allocated storage on success, it was not obvious whether
'*obj' was guaranteed safe on failure, or whether it was left
uninitialized. But a future patch wants to guarantee that
visit_type_FOO() does not leak a partially-constructed obj back to
the caller; it is easier to implement this if we can reliably state
that input visitors assign '*obj' regardless of success or failure,
and that on failure *obj is NULL. Add assertions to enforce
consistency in the final setting of err vs. *obj.

The opts-visitor start_struct() doesn't set an error, but it
also was doing a weird check for 0 size; all callers pass in
non-zero size if obj is non-NULL.

The testsuite has at least one spot where we no longer need
to pre-initialize a variable prior to a visit; valgrind confirms
that the test is still fine with the cleanup.

A later patch will document the design constraint implemented
here.
