qmp: Tighten output visitor rules
Tighten assertions in the QMP output visitor, so that:
- qmp_output_get_qobject() can only be called after pairing a
visit_end_* for every visit_start_* (rather than allowing it on
a partially built object)
- qmp_output_get_qobject() cannot be called unless at least one
visit_type_* or visit_start/visit_end pair has occurred since
creation/reset (the accidental return of NULL fixed by commit
ab8bf1d7 would have been much easier to diagnose)
- ensure that we are encountering the expected object or list
type, to provide protection against mismatched push(struct)/
pop(list) or push(list)/pop(struct), similar to the qmp-input
protection added in commit bdd8e6b5.
- ensure that except for the root, 'name' is non-null inside a
dict, and NULL inside a list (this may need changing later if
we add "name.0" support for better error messages for a list,
but for now it makes sure all users are at least consistent)
