Now that we have separated union tag values from colliding with
non-variant C names, by naming the union 'u', we should reserve
this name for our use.  Note that we want to forbid 'u' even in
a struct with no variants, because it is possible for a future
qemu release to extend QMP in a backwards-compatible manner while
converting from a struct to a flat union.  Fortunately, no
existing clients were using this member name.  If we ever find
the need for QMP to have a member 'u', we could at that time
relax things, perhaps by having c_name() munge the QMP member to
'q_u'.

Note that we cannot forbid 'u' everywhere (by adding the
rejection code to check_name()), because the existing QKeyCode
enum already uses it.  And it is still okay to use it as a
branch name within a union, although not worth adding a
positive test to qapi-schema-test for this corner case.

v10: new patch, split from 1/17 and 3/17; by deferring this until

Suggest to add something like: Therefore, we only reserve it as a struct
type member name.

Not sure this sentence is needed.

Perhaps c_name(key) == 'u' would be very slightly cleaner.  No
difference in practice, of course.

The closely related test for the reserved 'has_' prefix is called
args-has-clash.json.

More losely related tests for other reserved names are called
reserved-command.json, reserved-member.json.

Should these all be called like reserved-WHATEVER-WHERE.json?
