The next commit needs to access compat policy from the generic visitor
core. Move it there from qobject input and output visitor.

This is quite similar to commit 84ab008687 "qapi: Add feature flags to
struct members", only for enums instead of structs.
Special feature flag 'deprecated' is silently ignored there. This is
okay only because it will be implemented shortly.

The next commit will add feature flags to enum members. There's a
problem, though: query-qmp-schema shows an enum type's members as an
array of member names (SchemaInfoEnum member @values). If it showed
an array of objects with a name member, we could simply add more
members to these objects. Since it's just strings, we can't.
I can see three ways to correct this design mistake:
1. Do it the way we should have done it, plus compatibility goo.
We want a ['SchemaInfoEnumMember'] member in SchemaInfoEnum. Since
changing @values would be a compatibility break, add a new member
@members instead.
@values is now redundant. In my testing, output of
qemu-system-x86_64's query-qmp-schema grows by 11% (18.5KiB).
We can deprecate @values now and drop it later. This will break
outmoded clients. Well-behaved clients such as libvirt are
expected to break cleanly.
2. Like 1, but omit "boring" elements of @member, and empty @member.
@values does not become redundant. @members augments it. Somewhat
cumbersome, but output of query-qmp-schema grows only as we make
enum members non-boring.
There is nothing to deprecate here.
3. Versioned query-qmp-schema.
query-qmp-schema provides either @values or @members. The QMP
client can select which version it wants. There is no redundant
output.
We can deprecate old versions and eventually drop them. This will
break outmoded clients. Breaking cleanly is easier than for 1.
While 1 and 2 operate within the common rules for compatible
evolution apply (section "Compatibility considerations" in
docs/devel/qapi-code-gen.rst), 3 bypasses them. Attractive when
operating within the rules is just too awkward. Not the case here.
This commit implements 1. Libvirt developers prefer it.
Deprecate @values in favour of @members. Since query-qmp-schema
compatibility is pretty fundamental for management applications, an
extended grace period is advised.

The error message claims the parameter is invalid:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -object qom-type=nonexistent
qemu-system-x86_64: -object qom-type=nonexistent: Invalid parameter 'nonexistent'
What's wrong is actually the *value* 'nonexistent'. Improve the
message to
qemu-system-x86_64: -object qom-type=nonexistent: Parameter 'qom-type' does not accept value 'nonexistent'

Make sure at compile time that the scalar type of the array
requested to be created via P9ARRAY_NEW() matches the scalar
type of the passed auto reference variable (unique pointer).
