Include entities don't have names, but we generally expect "entities" to
have names. Reclassify all entities with names as *definitions*, leaving
the nameless include entities as QAPISchemaEntity instances.

This is primarily to help simplify typing around expectations of what
callers expect for properties of an "entity".

v3 called super().check() first.  Why did you move it?  I'm asking just
to make sure I'm not missing something subtle.

I don't believe you are, I think it was just ... something I didn't notice
when rebasing, since I merged this patch by hand. I recall having to insert
the super call manually, and I guess my preferences are nondeterministic.

I'd like to move it back, for consistency with its subtypes' .check(),
which all call super().check() early.  Okay?

Yes, please do.

(You *really* don't have to ask, but I understand you are being courteous
to a fault. It's your module, though! I argue a lot but it *is* yours. Run
it through the armbru delinter as much as you'd like.)
