qapi: Segregate anonymous unions into alternates in generator

Special-casing 'discriminator == {}' for handling anonymous unions
is getting awkward; since this particular type is not always a
dictionary on the wire, it is easier to treat it as a completely
different class of type, "alternate", so that if a type is listed
in the union_types array, we know it is not an anonymous union.

This patch just further segregates union handling, to make sure that
anonymous unions are not stored in union_types, and splitting up
check_union() into separate functions.  A future patch will change
the qapi grammar, and having the segregation already in place will
make it easier to deal with the distinct meta-type.
