c_name() produces names starting with 'q_' when protecting a
dictionary member name that would fail to directly compile, but
in doing so can cause clashes with any member name already
beginning with 'q-' or 'q_'. Likewise, we create a C name 'has_'
for any optional member that can clash with any member name
beginning with 'has-' or 'has_'.
Technically, rather than blindly reserving the namespace,
we could try to complain about user names only when an actual
collision occurs, or even teach c_name() how to munge names
to avoid collisions. But it is not trivial, especially when
collisions can occur across multiple types (such as via
inheritance or flat unions). Besides, no existing .json
files are trying to use these names. So it's easier to just
outright forbid the potential for collision. We can always
relax things in the future if a real need arises for QMP to
express member names that have been forbidden here.
'has_' only has to be reserved for struct/union member names,
while 'q_' is reserved everywhere (matching the fact that
only members can be optional, while we use c_name() for munging
both members and entities). Note that we could relax 'q_'
restrictions on entities independently from member names; for
example, c_name('qmp_' + 'unix') would result in a different
function name than our current 'qmp_' + c_name('unix').
Update and add tests to cover the new error messages.

Add some testsuite coverage to ensure future patches are on
the right track:
Our current C representation of qapi arrays is done by appending
'List' to the element name; but we are not preventing the
creation of an object type with the same name. Add
reserved-type-list.json to test this. Then rename
enum-union-clash.json to reserved-type-kind.json to cover the
reservation that we DO detect, and shorten it to match the fact
that the name is reserved even if there is no clash.
We are failing to detect a collision between a dictionary member
and the implicit 'has_*' flag for another optional member. The
easiest fix would be for a future patch to reserve the entire
"has[-_]" namespace for member names (the collision is also
possible for branch names within flat unions, but only as long as
branch names can collide with (non-variant) members; however,
since future patches are about to remove that, it is not worth
testing here). Add reserved-member-has.json to test this.
A similar collision exists between a dictionary member where
c_name() munges what might otherwise be a reserved name to start
with 'q_', and another member explicitly starts with "q[-_]".
Again, the easiest solution for a future patch will be reserving
the entire namespace, but here for commands as well as members.
Add reserved-member-q.json and reserved-command-q.json to test
this; separate tests since arguably our munging of command 'unix'
to 'qmp_q_unix()' could be done without a q_, which is different
than the munging of a member 'unix' to 'foo.q_unix'.
Finally, our testsuite does not have any compilation coverage
of struct inheritance with empty qapi structs. Update
qapi-schema-test.json to test this.
Note that there is currently no technical reason to forbid type
name patterns from member names, or member name patterns from
types, since the two are not in the same namespace in C and
won't collide; but it's not worth adding positive tests of these
corner cases at this time, especially while there is other churn
pending in patches that rearrange which collisions actually
happen.
