qapi: The #optional tag is redundant, drop
We traditionally mark optional members #optional in the doc comment. Before commit 3313b61, this was entirely manual. Commit 3313b61 added some automation because its qapi2texi.py relied on #optional to determine whether a member is optional. This is no longer the case since the previous commit: the only thing qapi2texi.py still does with #optional is stripping it out. We still reject bogus qapi-schema.json and six places for qga/qapi-schema.json. Thus, you can't actually rely on #optional to see whether something is optional. Yet we still make people add it manually. That's just busy-work. Drop the code to check, fix up and strip out #optional, along with all instances of #optional. To keep it out, add code to reject it, to be dropped again once the dust settles. No change to generated documentation.
