qapi: Anonymous unions

The discriminator for anonymous unions is the data type. This allows to
have a union type that allows both of these:

    { 'file': 'my_existing_block_device_id' }
    { 'file': { 'filename': '/tmp/mydisk.qcow2', 'read-only': true } }

Unions like this are specified in the schema with an empty dict as
discriminator. For this example you could take:

    { 'union': 'BlockRef',
      'discriminator': {},
      'data': { 'definition': 'BlockOptions',
                'reference': 'str' } }
    { 'type': 'ExampleObject',
      'data: { 'file': 'BlockRef' } }
