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

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.
