This series extends QMP introspection to cover deprecation. Additionally, new option -compat lets you configure what to do when deprecated interfaces get used. This is intended for testing users of the management interfaces. It is experimental. -compat deprecated-input=<in-policy> configures what to do when deprecated input is received. Available policies: * accept: Accept deprecated commands and arguments (default) * reject: Reject them * crash: Crash -compat deprecated-output=<out-policy> configures what to do when deprecated output is sent. Available output policies: * accept: Emit deprecated command results and events (default) * hide: Suppress them For now, -compat covers only deprecated syntactic aspects of QMP. We may want to extend it to cover semantic aspects, CLI, and experimental features.
