qapi: Simplify error reporting for array types
check_type() first checks and peels off the array type, then checks
the element type. For two out of four error messages, it takes pains
to report errors for "array of T" instead of just T. Odd. Let's
examine the errors.

* Unknown element type, e.g.
tests/qapi-schema/args-array-unknown.json:

Member 'array' of 'data' for command 'oops' uses unknown type
'array of NoSuchType'

To make sense of this, you need to know that 'array of NoSuchType'
refers to '[NoSuchType]'. Easy enough. However, simply reporting

Member 'array' of 'data' for command 'oops' uses unknown type
'NoSuchType'

is at least as easy to understand.

* Element type's meta-type is inadmissible, e.g.
tests/qapi-schema/returns-whitelist.json:

'returns' for command 'no-way-this-will-get-whitelisted' cannot
use built-in type 'array of int'

'array of int' is technically not a built-in type, but that's
pedantry. However, simply reporting

'returns' for command 'no-way-this-will-get-whitelisted' cannot
use built-in type 'int'

avoids the issue, and is at least as easy to understand.

* The remaining two errors are unreachable, because the array checking
ensures that value is a string.

Thus, reporting some errors for "array of T" instead of just T works,
but doesn't really improve things. Drop it.
