[PATCH v2 01/12] qapi/commands: assert arg_type is not None

[John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>]

when boxed is true, expr.py asserts that we must have
arguments. Ultimately, this should mean that if boxed is True, that
arg_type should be defined. Mypy cannot infer this, and does not support
'stateful' type inference, e.g.:

```
if x:
    assert y is not None

...

if x:
    y.etc()
```

does not work, because mypy does not statefully remember the conditional
assertion in the second block. Help mypy out by creating a new local
that it can track more easily.
