qapi: Allow true, false and null in schema json

In the near term, we will use it for a sensible-looking
'gen':false inside command declarations, instead of the
current ugly 'gen':'no'.

In the long term, it will allow conversion from shorthand
with defaults mentioned only in side-band documentation:
 'data':{'*flag':'bool', '*string':'str'}
into an explicit default value documentation, as in:
 'data':{'flag':{'type':'bool', 'optional':true, 'default':true},
         'string':{'type':'str', 'optional':true, 'default':null}}

We still don't parse integer values (also necessary before
we can allow explicit defaults), but that can come in a later
series.

Update the testsuite to match an improved error message.
