/**
* Create a QObject output visitor for @obj
*
* A QObject output visitor visit builds a QObject from QAPI Object.
* This simultaneously walks the QAPI object and the QObject being
* built. The latter walk starts at @obj.
*
* visit_type_FOO() creates a QObject for QAPI type FOO. It creates a
* QDict for struct/union types, a QList for list types, QString for
* type 'str' and enumeration types, QNum for integer and float
* types, QBool for type 'bool'. For type 'any', it increments the
* QObject's reference count. For QAPI alternate types, it creates
* the QObject for the member that is in use.
*
* visit_start_struct() ... visit_end_struct() visits a QAPI
* struct/union and creates a QDict. Visits in between visit the
* members. visit_optional() is true when the struct/union has this
* member. visit_check_struct() does nothing.
*
* visit_start_list() ... visit_end_list() visits a QAPI list and
* creates a QList. Visits in between visit list members, one after
* the other. visit_next_list() returns NULL when all QAPI list
* members have been visited. visit_check_list() does nothing.
*
* visit_start_alternate() ... visit_end_alternate() visits a QAPI
* alternate. The visit in between creates the QObject for the
* alternate member that is in use.
*
* Errors are not expected to happen.
*
* The caller is responsible for freeing the visitor with
* visit_free().
