qapi: Replace start_optional()/end_optional() by optional()

Semantics of end_optional() differ subtly from the other end_FOO()
callbacks: when start_FOO() succeeds, the matching end_FOO() gets
called regardless of what happens in between.  end_optional() gets
called only when everything in between succeeds as well.  Entirely
undocumented, like all of the visitor API.

The only user of Visitor Callback end_optional() never did anything,
and was removed in commit 9f9ab46.

I'm about to clean up error handling in the generated visitor code,
and end_optional() is in my way.  No users mean no test cases, and
making non-trivial cleanup transformations without test cases doesn't
strike me as a good idea.

Drop end_optional(), and rename start_optional() to optional().  We
can always go back to a pair of callbacks when we have an actual need.
