The macro expansions of qdict_put_TYPE() and qlist_append_TYPE() need
qbool.h, qnull.h, qnum.h and qstring.h to compile. We include qnull.h
and qnum.h in the headers, but not qbool.h and qstring.h. Works,
because we include those wherever the macros get used.
Open-coding these helpers is of dubious value. Turn them into
functions and drop the includes from the headers.
This cleanup makes the number of objects depending on qapi/qmp/qnum.h
from 4551 (out of 4743) to 46 in my "build everything" tree. For
qapi/qmp/qnull.h, the number drops from 4552 to 21.

The QObject hierarchy is small enough, and unlikely to grow further
(since we only use it to map to JSON and already cover all JSON
types), that we can simplify things by not tracking a separate
vtable, but just inline the code element of the vtable QType
directly into QObject (renamed to type), and track a separate array
of destroy functions. We can drop qnull_destroy_obj() in the
process.
The remaining QObject subclasses must export their destructor.
This also has the nice benefit of moving the typename 'QType'
out of the way, so that the next patch can repurpose it for a
nicer name for 'qtype_code'.
The various objects are still the same size (so no change in cache
line pressure), but now have less indirection (although I didn't
bother benchmarking to see if there is a noticeable speedup, as
we don't have hard evidence that this was in a performance hotspot
in the first place).
A future patch could drop the refcnt size to 32 bits for a smaller
struct on 64-bit architectures, if desired (we have limits on the
largest JSON that we are willing to parse, and will probably never
need to take full advantage of a 64-bit refcnt).

Clean up includes so that osdep.h is included first and headers
which it implies are not included manually.

qobject_to_qlist() crashes on null, which is a trap for the unwary.
Return null instead.
