From: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>

We started moving away from the use of the 'void *data' member
in the C union corresponding to a QAPI union back in commit
544a373; recent commits have gotten rid of other uses.  Now
that it is completely unused, we can remove the member itself
as well as the FIXME comment.  Update the testsuite to drop the
negative test union-clash-data.
