qapi: allow override of default enum prefix naming

The camel_to_upper() method applies some heuristics to turn
a mixed case type name into an all-uppercase name. This is
used for example, to generate enum constant name prefixes.

The heuristics don't also generate a satisfactory name
though. eg

  { 'enum': 'QCryptoTLSCredsEndpoint',
    'data': ['client', 'server']}

Results in Q_CRYPTOTLS_CREDS_ENDPOINT_CLIENT. This has
an undesirable _ after the initial Q and is missing an
_ between the CRYPTO & TLS strings.

Rather than try to add more and more heuristics to try
to cope with this, simply allow the QAPI schema to
specify the desired enum constant prefix explicitly.

eg

  { 'enum': 'QCryptoTLSCredsEndpoint',
    'prefix': 'QCRYPTO_TLS_CREDS_ENDPOINT',
    'data': ['client', 'server']}

Now gives the QCRYPTO_TLS_CREDS_ENDPOINT_CLIENT name.
