qapi: Document new 'alternate' meta-type
The next patch will quit special-casing "'union':'Foo',
'discriminator':{}" and instead use "'alternate':'Foo'".
Separating docs from implementation makes it easier to focus
on wording without holding up code. In particular, making
alternate a separate type makes for a nice type hierarchy:
/-------- meta-type ------\
/ | \
simple types alternate complex types
| | | |
built-in enum type(struct) union
| \ / / \
numeric string simple flat
A later patch will then clean up 'type' vs. 'struct'
confusion.
