qapi: Forbid 'any' inside an alternate
The whole point of an alternate is to allow some type-safety while
still accepting more than one JSON type.  Meanwhile, the 'any'
type exists to bypass type-safety altogether.  The two are
incompatible: you can't accept every type, and still tell which
branch of the alternate to use for the parse; fix this to give a
sane error instead of a Python stack trace.

Note that other types that can't be alternate members are caught
earlier, by check_type().
