It often happens that just a few discriminator values imply extra data in
a flat union. Existing checks did not make possible to leave other values
uncovered. Such cases had to be worked around by either stating a dummy
(empty) type or introducing another (subset) discriminator enumeration.

Both options create redundant entities in qapi files for little profit.

With this patch it is not necessary anymore to add designated union
fields for every possible value of a discriminator enumeration.

 Notice that in a flat union, the discriminator name is controlled by

+In the resulting generated C data types, a flat union is
 represented as a struct with the base members included directly, and
 then a union of structures for each branch of the struct.
