Inside the generated code between visit_start_struct() and
visit_end_struct(), we were blindly setting the error into
the caller's errp parameter.  But a future patch to split
visit_end_struct() will require that we take action based
on whether an error has occurred, which requires us to track
all actions through a local err.  Rewrite the visits to be
more in line with the other generated calls.

Generated code changes look like:

I'd drop this line.

err is clear here.

If we come from goto out_obj, these two lines are no-ops.

gen_visit_union(), the other generator of visit_start_struct(), already
does it this way.  It generates additional goto out_obj, so the
placement of out_obj makes more sense there.  I guess we want to place
it in the same spot here to facilitate unifying the two.

I could move the label, if desired...

...but as you observed, the unification in 31 is a bit easier with it
placed identically.  Maybe a commit message comment is in order.

Or perhaps move it forward now, and move it back when you actually need
it back.

Reviewers appreciate miminal patch churn, but they also appreciate
patches making sense on their own.  Reviewer are looking at your patch
with precious little context in general, and next to zero visibility
into later patches in particular.
