[PATCH v4 4/8] qapi: Store Error in StackObject.h for qobject-input-visitor

[Kevin Wolf]

StackObject.h is a GHashTable that stores all keys in the input that
haven't been consumed yet. If qobject_input_check_struct() still finds
any entry, an error is returned because the input was unexpected. The
value of hash table entries is currently unused (always NULL).

The next patch implements, amongst others, wildcard aliases that can
lead to situations where it can't be decided immediately if a value is
still used elsewhere or if a conflict (two values for one member) needs
to be reported.

Allow it to store an Error object in the hash table so that a good error
message is used for qobject_input_check_struct() if the value isn't
consumed elsewhere, but no error is reported if some other object does
consume the value.
