[PATCH 07/13] qapi: Fix Visitor contract for start_alternate()

[Markus Armbruster]

The contract demands v->start_alternate() for input and dealloc
visitors, but visit_start_alternate() actually requires it for input
and clone visitors.  Fix the contract, and delete superfluous
qapi_dealloc_start_alternate().
