Okay, I've done an audit, and will update the commit message accordingly
- outside of generated code and testsuites, there were only 5 uses of
qmp_output_visitor_new(), all of which were used on a single visit
before destruction.  So to date only the testsuite was reusing things.
[2 of those uses will be dropped in a later series of mine, when I add a
QAPI clone visitor]
