docs/qapidoc: add visit_member() method

This method is used for generating the "members" of a wide variety of
things, including structs, unions, enums, alternates, etc. The field
name it uses to do so is dependent on the type of entity the "member"
belongs to.

Currently, IF conditionals for individual members are not handled or
rendered, a small regression from the prior documentation
generator. This will be fixed in a future patch.
