[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v9 11/27] qapi-types: Consolidate gen_struct() and gen_union()

[Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>]

These two methods are now close enough that we can finally merge
them, relying on the fact that simple unions now provide a
reasonable local_members.  Change gen_struct() to gen_object()
that handles all forms of QAPISchemaObjectType, and rename and
shrink gen_union() to gen_variants() to handle the portion of
gen_object() needed when variants are present.

gen_struct_fields() now has a single caller, so it no longer
needs an optional parameter; however, I did not choose to inline
it into the caller.

No difference to generated code.
