qapi: Tidy c_type() logic

c_type() is designed to be called on both string names and on
array designations, so 'name' is a bit misleading because it
operates on more than strings.  Also, no caller ever passes
an empty string.  Finally, + notation is a bit nicer to read
than '%s' % value for string concatenation.
