Saying that virDomainQemuAgentCommand is fully supported to be used

By saying that mgmt apps will need to learn json apart from xml. I'm not
saying it's necessarily a bad thing - mgmt application is probably
written in a language that already has a JSON library built in (golang,
python).
We just need to make 100% sure that it can't be abused as argument to
to change status of virDomainQemuMonitorCommand.
There is a difference. You can configure qemu-ga for your guest so that
libvirt doesn't know about it (and does not use it), but your app can
still talk to it (just don't assign the org.qemu.guest_agent.0 name).
With monitor it's not possible; we could not guarantee anything if we'd
give up monitor.
