qapi: Reorder check_FOO() parameters for consistency

Most check_FOO() take the thing being checked as first argument.
check_name(), check_type(), check_known_keys() don't.  Clean that up.

While there, drop a "Todo" comment that should have been dropped in
commit 87adbbf "qapi: add a dictionary form for TYPE".
