John Snow 578cd9329b qapi/schema: declare type for QAPISchemaArrayType.element_type
A QAPISchemaArrayType's element type gets resolved only during .check().
We have QAPISchemaArrayType.__init__() initialize self.element_type =
None, and .check() assign the actual type.  Using .element_type before
.check() is wrong, and hopefully crashes due to the value being None.
Works.

However, it makes for awkward typing.  With .element_type:
Optional[QAPISchemaType], mypy is of course unable to see that it's None
before .check(), and a QAPISchemaType after.  To help it over the hump,
we'd have to assert self.element_type is not None before all the (valid)
uses.  The assertion catches invalid uses, but only at run time; mypy
can't flag them.

Instead, declare .element_type in .__init__() as QAPISchemaType
*without* initializing it.  Using .element_type before .check() now
certainly crashes, which is an improvement.  Mypy still can't flag
invalid uses, but that's okay.
