string-output-visitor: show structs as "<omitted>"

StringOutputVisitor crashes when it visits a struct because
->start_struct() is NULL.

Show "<omitted>" instead of crashing. This is necessary because the
virtio-blk-pci iothread-vq-mapping parameter that I'd like to introduce
soon is a list of IOThreadMapping structs.

This patch is a quick fix to solve the crash, but the long-term solution
is replacing StringOutputVisitor with something that can handle the full
gamut of values in QEMU.
