qapi: Provide nicer array names in introspection

For the sake of humans reading introspection output, it is nice
to have the name of implicit array types be recognizable as
arrays of the underlying type.  However, while this patch allows
humans to skip from a command with return type "[123]" straight
to the definition of type "123" without having to first inspect
type "[123]", document that this shortcut should not be taken by
client apps.

This makes the resulting introspection string slightly larger by
default (just over 200 bytes), but it's in the noise (less than
0.3% of the overall 70k size of 'query-qmp-capabilities').
