From: John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>

Declare, but don't initialize the "members" field with type
List[QAPISchemaObjectTypeMember].

This simplifies the typing from what would otherwise be
Optional[List[T]] to merely List[T]. This removes the need to add
assertions to several callsites that this value is not None - which it
never will be after the delayed initialization in check() anyway.

The type declaration without initialization trick will cause accidental
uses of this field prior to full initialization to raise an
AttributeError.

(Note that it is valid to have an empty members list, see the internal
q_empty object as an example. For this reason, we cannot use the empty
list as a replacement test for full initialization and instead rely on
the _checked/_check_complete fields.)
