Remove most usages of _JSONObject with a more semantically meaningful
alias. Note that this is only a semantic alias; the distinction is not
enforced by the type system. This is merely a benefit for the human:
instead of check_xyz functions operating on a representation of some
"JSON Object", we can document them as operating on QAPI's Top Level
Expressions directly; it's more semantically meaningful.
