H A Dopts-visitor.cf96493b1 Thu Feb 18 00:48:15 CST 2016 Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> qapi: Simplify excess input reporting in input visitors

When reporting that an unvisited member remains at the end of an
input visit for a struct, we were using g_hash_table_find()
coupled with a callback function that always returns true, to
locate an arbitrary member of the hash table. But if all we
need is an arbitrary entry, we can get that from a single-use
iterator, without needing a tautological callback function.

Technically, our cast of &(GQueue *) to (void **) is not strict
C (while void * must be able to hold all other pointers, nothing
says a void ** has to be the same width or representation as a
GQueue **). The kosher way to write it would be the verbose:

void *tmp;
GQueue *any;
if (g_hash_table_iter_next(&iter, NULL, &tmp)) {
any = tmp;

But our code base (not to mention glib itself) already has other
cases of assuming that ALL pointers have the same width and
representation, where a compiler would have to go out of its way
to mis-compile our borderline behavior.
