Linking code from multiple separate QAPI schemata into the same

   one QAPI schema per program with --builtins.

* We generate code for them it into .h regardless of --builtins,

s/them it/them/

   guarded by #ifndef QAPI_VISIT_BUILTIN.  Because the code for
   built-in types is exactly the same in all of them, including any
   combination of these headers works.

Replace this contraption by something more conventional: generate code
for built-in types into their very own files: qapi-builtin-types.c,
qapi-builtin-visit.c, qapi-builtin-types.h, qapi-builtin-visit.h, but
only with --builtins.  Obey --output-dir, but ignore --prefix for
them.

Make qapi-types.h include qapi-builtin-types.h.  With multiple
schemata you now have multiple qapi-types.[ch], but only one
qapi-builtin-types.[ch].  Same for qapi-visit.[ch] and
qapi-builtin-visit.[ch].

Bonus: if all you need is built-in stuff, you can include a much
smaller header.  To be exploited shortly.
