[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 22/31] qapi: Add type.is_empty() helper

[Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>]

And use it in qapi-types and qapi-event.  Down the road, we may
want to lift our artificial restriction of no variants at the
top level of an event, at which point, inlining our check for
whether members is empty will no longer be sufficient.  More
immediately, the new .is_empty() helper will help fix a bug in
qapi-visit.
