qapi: Prefer 'struct' over 'type' in generator
Referring to "type" as both a meta-type (built-in, enum, union, alternate, or struct) and a specific type (the name that the schema uses for declaring structs) is confusing. The confusion is only made worse by the fact that the generator mostly already refers to struct even when dealing with expr['type']. This commit changes the generator to consistently refer to it as struct everywhere, plus a single back-compat tweak that allows accepting the existing .json files as-is, so that the meat of this change is separate from the mindless churn of that change. Fix the testsuite fallout for error messages that change, and in some cases, become more legible. Improve comments to better match our intentions where a struct (rather than any complex type) is required. Note that in some cases, an error message now refers to 'struct' while the schema still refers to 'type'; that will be cleaned up in the later commit to the schema.
