qapi: Clean up null checking in generated visitors

Visitors get passed a pointer to the visited object.  The generated
visitors try to cope with this pointer being null in some places, for
instance like this:

    visit_start_optional(m, obj ? &(*obj)->has_name : NULL, "name", &err);

visit_start_optional() passes its second argument to Visitor method
start_optional.  Three out of three methods dereference it
unconditionally.

I fail to see how this pointer could legitimately be null.

All this useless null checking is highly redundant, which Coverity
duly reports.  About 200 times.

Remove the useless null checks.
