QString supports modifying its string, but it's quite limited: you can
only append.  The remaining callers use it for building an initial
string, never for modifying it later.

Use of GString for building the initial string is actually more
convenient here.  Change qobject_to_json() & friends to do that.

Once all such uses are replaced this way, QString can become immutable.

qstring_from_substr() takes the index of the substring's first and
last character.  qstring_from_substr(s, 0, SIZE_MAX) denotes an empty
substring.  Awkward.

Shift the end index one to the right.  This simplifies both
qstring_from_substr() and its callers.

qstring_from_substr() parameters @start and @end are of type int.
blkdebug_parse_filename(), blkverify_parse_filename(), nbd_parse_uri(),
and qstring_from_str() pass @end values of type size_t or ptrdiff_t.
Values exceeding INT_MAX get truncated, with possibly disastrous
results.

Such huge substrings seem unlikely, but we found one in a core dump,
where "info tlb" executed via QMP's human-monitor-command apparently
produced 35 GiB of output.

Fix by changing the parameters size_t.

The QObject hierarchy is small enough, and unlikely to grow further
(since we only use it to map to JSON and already cover all JSON
types), that we can simplify things by not tracking a separate
vtable, but just inline the code element of the vtable QType
directly into QObject (renamed to type), and track a separate array
of destroy functions.  We can drop qnull_destroy_obj() in the
process.

The remaining QObject subclasses must export their destructor.

This also has the nice benefit of moving the typename 'QType'
out of the way, so that the next patch can repurpose it for a
nicer name for 'qtype_code'.

The various objects are still the same size (so no change in cache
line pressure), but now have less indirection (although I didn't
bother benchmarking to see if there is a noticeable speedup, as
we don't have hard evidence that this was in a performance hotspot
in the first place).

A future patch could drop the refcnt size to 32 bits for a smaller
struct on 64-bit architectures, if desired (we have limits on the
largest JSON that we are willing to parse, and will probably never
need to take full advantage of a 64-bit refcnt).

QString is a high-level data type that can be used to represent
C strings.

The following functions are available:

- qstring_from_str() Create a new QString
- qstring_get_str()  Get a pointer to the stored string

Note that qstring_get_str() is too low-level for a data type like
this, but it's interesting for quick read-only accesses.
