We already documented that qapi names should match specific
patterns (such as starting with a letter unless it was an enum
value or a downstream extension). Tighten that from a suggestion
into a hard requirement, which frees up names beginning with a
single underscore for qapi internal usage.
The tighter regex doesn't forbid everything insane that a user
could provide (for example, a user could name a type 'Foo-lookup'
to collide with the generated 'Foo_lookup[]' for an enum 'Foo'),
but does a good job at protecting the most obvious uses, and
also happens to reserve single leading underscore for later use.
The handling of enum values starting with a digit is tricky:
commit 9fb081e introduced a subtle bug by using c_name() on
a munged value, which would allow an enum to include the
member 'q-int' in spite of our reservation. Furthermore,
munging with a leading '_' would fail our tighter regex. So
fix it by only munging for leading digits (which are never
ticklish in c_name()) and by using a different prefix (I
picked 'D', although any letter should do).
Add new tests, reserved-member-underscore and reserved-enum-q,
to demonstrate the tighter checking.

Any name (command, event, type, field, or enum value) beginning with
"x-" is marked experimental, and may be withdrawn or changed
-incompatibly in a future release. Downstream vendors may add
-extensions; such extensions should begin with a prefix matching
-"__RFQDN_" (for the reverse-fully-qualified-domain-name of the
-vendor), even if the rest of the name uses dash (example:
-__com.redhat_drive-mirror). Other than downstream extensions (with
-leading underscore and the use of dots), all names should begin with a
-letter, and contain only ASCII letters, digits, dash, and underscore.
-Names beginning with 'q_' are reserved for the generator: QMP names
-that resemble C keywords or other problematic strings will be munged
-in C to use this prefix. For example, a field named "default" in
-qapi becomes "q_default" in the generated C code.
