qapi: Reserve '*List' type names for list types

Browse source 
Type names ending in 'List' can clash with qapi list types in
generated C.  We don't currently use such names. It is easier to
outlaw them now than to worry about how to resolve such a clash
in the future. For precedence, see commit 4dc2e69, which did the
same for names ending in 'Kind' versus implicit enum types for
qapi unions.

Update the testsuite to match.

generally speaking, type definitions should always use CamelCase for
user-defined type names, while built-in types are lowercase. Type
definitions should not end in 'Kind', as this namespace is used for
creating implicit C enums for visiting union types. Command names,
creating implicit C enums for visiting union types, or in 'List', as
this namespace is used for creating array types. Command names,
and field names within a type, should be all lower case with words
separated by a hyphen. However, some existing older commands and
complex types use underscore; when extending such expressions,
