Aborting in the middle of an alternate is trickier, since the current
code for alternates does not allow a non-NULL *obj to
visit_start_alternate() (that is, no virtual alternate walk is needed;
to output an alternate, just call directly to the branch of interest,
without a need to wrap things in visit_start/end_alternate; and on
input, an alternate is currently useful only into a QAPI C struct).

I'm still trying to see whether tweaking the docs to cover alternates
makes much sense; we'll see what the patch looks like, but may decide it
was not worth it.
