Issuing simple QMP commands is pain as they need to be wrapped by the
JSON wrapper:
{ "execute": "COMMAND" }
and optionally also:
{ "execute": "COMMAND", "arguments":...}
For simple commands without arguments we can add syntax sugar to virsh
which allows simple usage of QMP and additionally prepares also for
passing through of the 'arguments' section:
virsh qemu-monitor-command $VM query-status
is equivalent to
virsh qemu-monitor-command $VM '{"execute":"query-status"}'
and
virsh qemu-monitor-command $VM query-named-block-nodes '{"flat":true}'
or
virsh qemu-monitor-command $VM query-named-block-nodes '"flat":true'
is equivalent to
virsh qemu-monitor-command $VM
'{"execute":"query-named-block-nodes",
"arguments":{"flat":true}}'

v2:
- dropped the '--qmpwrap' option and do wrapping if we don't get a
JSON object instead. Similarly for arguments.
