qapi: Document that input visitor semantics are prone to leaks
Most functions that can return a pointer or set an Error ** value
are decent enough to guarantee a NULL return when reporting an error.
Not so with our generated qapi visitor functions. If the caller
is not careful to clean up partially-allocated objects on error,
then the caller suffers a memory leak.
Properly fixing it is probably complex enough to save for a later
day, so merely document it for now.
