qapi: Add parameter to visit_end_*
Rather than making the dealloc visitor track of stack of pointers remembered during visit_start_* in order to free them during visit_end_*, it's a lot easier to just make all callers pass the same pointer to visit_end_*. The generated code has access to the same pointer, while all other users are doing virtual walks and can pass NULL. The dealloc visitor is then greatly simplified. All three visit_end_*() functions intentionally take a void**, even though the visit_start_*() functions differ between void**, GenericList**, and GenericAlternate**. This is done for several reasons: when doing a virtual walk, passing NULL doesn't care what the type is, but when doing a generated walk, we already have to cast the caller's specific FOO* to call visit_start, while using void** lets us use visit_end without a cast. Also, an upcoming patch will add a clone visitor that wants to use the same implementation for all three visit_end callbacks, which is made easier if all three share the same signature. For visitors with already track per-object state (the QMP visitors via a stack, and the string visitors which do not allow nesting), add an assertion that the caller is indeed passing the same pointer to paired calls.
