[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 09/17] qapi: Add type.is_empty() helper

[Eric Blake]

And use it in qapi-types and qapi-event.  Down the road, we may
want to lift our artificial restriction of no variants at the
top level of an event, at which point, inlining our check for
whether members is empty will no longer be sufficient, but
adding a check for variants adds verbosity; in the meantime,
add some asserts in places where we don't handle variants.

More immediately, the new .is_empty() helper will help fix a bug
in qapi-visit in the next patch, where the generator did not
handle an explicit empty type in the same was as a missing type.

No change to generated code.
