[PATCH 05/14] qapi: Improve error message for unexpected array types

[Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>]

We reject array types in certain places with "cannot be an array".
Deleting this check improves the error message to "should be a type
name" or "should be an object or type name", depending on context, so
do that.
