[PATCH] qapi: allow unions to contain further unions

[Daniel P . Berrangé]

This extends the QAPI schema validation to permit unions inside unions,
provided the checks for clashing fields pass.

This patch comes out of the discussion on Het's migration series
starting at this patch:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2023-02/msg02111.html

Markus had described his desired improved architecture

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2023-02/msg02719.html

but I don't think I have enough knowledge of the QAPI code to attempt
to fuse the handling of structs/unions as mentioned. This patch does
what looks to be the bare minimum to permit unions in unions, while
keeping validation checks for clashing fields.

I've not tested beyond the unit tests, but if this is acceptable
from Markus' POV, I'd expect Het to insert this patch at the
start of his migration series and thus test it more fully.
