qapi: add 'if' to enum members
QAPISchemaMember gains .ifcond for enum members: inherited classes, such as QAPISchemaObjectTypeMember, will thus have an ifcond member after this (those different types will also use the .ifcond to store the condition and generate conditional code in the following patches). The generated code remains unconditional for now. Later patches generate the conditionals.

compile with an arbitrary combination of conditions, since the
