qapi: Better error messages for bad enums
The previous commit demonstrated that the generator had several
flaws with less-than-perfect enums:
- an enum that listed the same string twice (or two variant
strings that map to the same C enumerator) ended up generating
an invalid C enum
- because the generator adds a _MAX terminator to each enum,
the use of an enum member 'max' can also cause this clash
- if an enum omits 'data', the generator left a python stack
trace rather than a graceful message
- an enum that used a non-array 'data' was silently accepted by
the parser
- an enum that used non-string members in the 'data' member
was silently accepted by the parser

Add check_enum to cover these situations, and update testcases
to match.  While valid .json files won't trigger any of these
cases, we might as well be nicer to developers that make a typo
while trying to add new QAPI code.
