qapi/parser: Add FIXME for consolidating JSON-related types

The fix for this comment is forthcoming in a future commit, but this
will keep me honest. The linting configuration in ./python/setup.cfg
prohibits 'FIXME' comments. A goal of this long-running series is to
move ./scripts/qapi to ./python/qemu/qapi so that the QAPI generator is
regularly type-checked by GitLab CI.

This comment is a time-bomb to force me to address this issue prior to
that step.
