qapi: Drop simple unions

Simple unions predate flat unions. Having both complicates the QAPI
schema language and the QAPI generator. We haven't been using simple
unions in new code for a long time

qapi: Drop simple unions

Simple unions predate flat unions. Having both complicates the QAPI
schema language and the QAPI generator. We haven't been using simple
unions in new code for a long time, because they are less flexible and
somewhat awkward on the wire.

The previous commits eliminated simple union from the tree. Now drop
them from the QAPI schema language entirely, and update mentions of
"flat union" to just "union".
