qapi: Document that input visitor semantics are prone to leaks
Most functions that can return a pointer or set an Error ** value are decent enough to guarantee a NULL return when reporting an error. Not so with our generated qapi visitor functions. If the caller is not careful to clean up partially-allocated objects on error, then the caller suffers a memory leak. Properly fixing it is probably complex enough to save for a later day, so merely document it for now.
