guest-sync leaves it as an exercise to the user as to how to reliably obtain the response to guest-sync if the client had previously read in a partial response (due qemu-ga previously being restarted mid-"sentence" due to reboot, forced restart, etc). qemu-ga handles this situation on its end by having a client precede their guest-sync request with a 0xFF byte (invalid UTF-8), which qemu-ga/QEMU JSON parsers will treat as a flush event. Thus we can reliably flush the qemu-ga parser state in preparation for receiving the guest-sync request. guest-sync-delimited provides the same functionality for a client: when a guest-sync-delimited is issued, qemu-ga will precede it's response with a 0xFF byte that the client can use as an indicator to flush its buffer/parser state in preparation for reliably receiving the guest-sync-delimited response.
