[PULL 04/37] qapi: Drop check_type()'s redundant parameter @allow_optional

[Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>]

check_type() uses @allow_optional only when @value is a dictionary and
@allow_dict is True.  All callers that pass allow_dict=True also pass
allow_optional=True.

Therefore, @allow_optional is always True when check_type() uses it.
Drop the redundant parameter.
