qapi: Reuse code for flat union base validation

Rather than open-code the check for a valid base type, we
should reuse the common functionality. This allows for
consistent error messages, and also makes it easier for a
later patch to turn on support for inline anonymous base
structures.

Test flat-union-inline is updated to test only one feature
(anonymous branch dictionaries), which can be implemented
independently (test flat-union-bad-base already covers the
idea of an anonymous base dictionary).
