qapi: Reserve '*List' type names for list types
Type names ending in 'List' can clash with qapi list types in generated C. We don't currently use such names. It is easier to outlaw them now than to worry about how to resolve such a clash in the future. For precedence, see commit 4dc2e69, which did the same for names ending in 'Kind' versus implicit enum types for qapi unions. Update the testsuite to match.
