Should you also check against loops, and gracefully fail if a file tries
to include itself, or if file A includes B while B includes A?

This changes the code generator, but not the documentation.  For this
patch to be complete, you need to edit somewhere in the docs tree,
probably docs/qapi-code-gen.txt, to describe how to use includes.
