qapi: Drop support for boxed alternate arguments

Commands and events can define their argument type inline (default) or
by referring to another type ('boxed': true, since commit c818408e44
"qapi: Implement boxed types for commands/events", v2.7.0).  The
unboxed inline definition is an (anonymous) struct type.  The boxed
type may be a struct, union, or alternate type.

The latter is problematic: docs/interop/qemu-spec.txt requires the
value of the 'data' key to be a json-object, but any non-degenerate
alternate type has at least one branch that isn't.

Fortunately, we haven't made use of alternates in this context outside
tests/.  Drop support for them.

QAPISchemaAlternateType.is_empty() is now unused.  Drop it, too.
