qapi: Simplify visits of optional fields

None of the visitor callbacks would set an error when testing
if an optional field was present; make this part of the interface
contract by eliminating the errp argument.

The resulting generated code has a nice diff:

|-    visit_optional(v, &has_fdset_id, "fdset-id", &err);
|-    if (err) {
|-        goto out;
|-    }
|+    visit_optional(v, &has_fdset_id, "fdset-id");
|     if (has_fdset_id) {
|         visit_type_int(v, &fdset_id, "fdset-id", &err);
|         if (err) {
|             goto out;
|         }
|     }
