qapi: Unit tests for visitor-based serialization

Currently we test our visitors individually, and seperately for input
vs. output. This is useful for validating internal representations
against the native C types and vice-versa, and other visitor-specific
testing, but it doesn't cover the potential use-case of using visitor
pairs for serialization/deserialization very well, and makes it
hard to easily extend the coverage for different C types / boundary
conditions.

To cover that we add a set of unit tests that takes a number of native C
values, passes them into an output visitor, extracts the values with an
input visitor, then compares the result to the original.

Plugging in new visitors to the test harness only requires a user to
implement the SerializeOps interface and add it to a list.
