qapi: Fix to reject 'data': 'mumble' in struct

A struct's 'data' must be a JSON object defining the struct's members.
The QAPI code generator incorrectly accepts a JSON string instead, and
then crashes in QAPISchema._make_members() called from
._def_struct_type().

Fix to reject it: factor check_type_implicit() out of
check_type_name_or_implicit(), and switch check_struct() to use it
instead.  Also add a test case.
