qapi: Test failure in middle of array parse
Our generated list visitors have the same problem as has been mentioned elsewhere (see commit 2f52e20): they allocate data even on failure. An upcoming patch will correct things to provide saner guarantees, but first we need to expose the behavior in the testsuite to ensure we aren't introducing any memory usage bugs. There are more test cases throughout the test-qmp-input-* tests that already deal with partial allocation; a later commit will clean up all visit_type_FOO(), without marking all of the tests with FIXME at this time.
