[Qemu-devel] [RESEND PATCH 1/2] qapi: introduce strList and visit_type_strList()

[Amos Kong]

Currently we can only use ['String'] to add string to a list,
it contains some additional JSON structure.
    "multicast": [
        {
            "str": "01:80:c2:00:00:21"
        },
        {
            "str": "00:00:00:00:00:00"
        }
    ]

This patch introdued strList, we can use ['str']

    "multicast": [
        "01:00:5e:00:00:01",
        "33:33:ff:12:34:57"
    ]

I used an _ugly_ "#ifndef" to limit it only be defined in qapi-types.h.
do you have some suggestion to fix it?
