Parsing help output for the version number is a really bad idea. query-version
in QMP does the right thing:
(QEMU) query-version
{u'return': {u'qemu': {u'micro': 0, u'major': 1,
u'minor': 0}, u'package': ''}}
Which of course only works with new enough QEMU that is known to support QMP
(which BTW we detect by checking the version number). Anyway, the fix is easy,
we just need to assume micro is 0 if it's missing instead of requiring it to
be present. A fix will come soon.
