Implement the new type_null() callback for the qmp input visitor.
While we don't yet have a use for this in qapi (the generator
will need some tweaks first), one usage is already envisioned:
when changing blockdev parameters, it would be nice to have a
difference between leaving a tuning parameter unchanged (omit
that parameter from the struct) and to explicitly reset the
parameter to its default without having to know what the default
value is (specify the parameter with an explicit null value,
which will require us to allow a qapi alternate that chooses
between the normal values and an explicit null).
At any rate, we can test this without the use of generated qapi
by manually using visit_start_struct()/visit_end_struct().
