[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 13/21] qapi: Drop string input visitor method optional()

[Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>]

visit_optional() is to be called only between visit_start_struct() and
visit_end_struct().  Visitors that don't support struct visits,
i.e. don't implement start_struct(), end_struct(), have no use for it.
Clarify documentation.

The string input visitor doesn't support struct visits.  Its
parse_optional() is therefore useless.  Drop it.
