This includes support for [] expressions, single-quotes in
QMP expressions (which is not strictly a part of JSON), and
the ability to use "True", "False" and "None" literals instead
of JSON's equivalent true, false, and null literals.
qmp-shell currently allows you to describe values as
JSON expressions:
key={"key":{"key2":"val"}}
But it does not currently support arrays, which are needed
for serializing and deserializing transactions:
key=[{"type":"drive-backup","data":{...}}]
qmp-shell also only currently accepts doubly quoted strings
as-per JSON spec, but QMP allows single quotes.
Lastly, python allows you to utilize "True" or "False" as
boolean literals, but JSON expects "true" or "false". Expand
qmp-shell to allow the user to type either, converting to the
correct type.
As a consequence of the above, the key=val parsing is also improved
to give better error messages if a key=val token is not provided.
CAVEAT: The parser is still extremely rudimentary and does not
expect to find spaces in {} nor [] expressions. This patch does
not improve this functionality.

Refactor the qmp-shell command line processing function
into two components. This will be used to allow sub-expressions,
which will assist us in adding transactional support to qmp-shell.

A filter is added to allow callers to request very specific
events to be pulled from the event queue, while leaving undesired
events still in the stream.
This allows us to poll for completion data for multiple asynchronous
events in any arbitrary order.
A new timeout context is added to the qmp pull_event method's
wait parameter to allow tests to fail if they do not complete
within some expected period of time.
Also fixed is a bug in qmp.pull_event where we try to retrieve an event
from an empty list if we attempt to retrieve an event with wait=False
but no events have occurred.

Functionally it is a recursive qom-list with qom-get per non-child<>
property. Some failures needed to be handled, such as trying to read a
pointer property, which is not representable in QMP. Those print a
literal "<EXCEPTION>".

When QEMU process aborts and socket is closed, qmp client will not
detect it. When this happens, some qemu-iotests scripts will enter an
endless loop waiting for qmp events.
It's better we raise an exception in qmp.py to catch this and make the
test script stop.

As another convenience to allow using commands that expect a dict as
argument, this patch adds support for foo.bar=value syntax, similar to
command line argument style:
(QEMU) blockdev-add options.driver=file options.id=drive1 options.filename=...

qmp-shell hides the QMP wire protocol JSON encoding from the user. Most
of the time this is helpful and makes the command-line human-friendly.
Some QMP commands take a dict as an argument. In order to express this
we need to revert back to JSON notation.
This patch allows JSON dict arguments in qmp-shell so commands like
blockdev-add and nbd-server-start can be invoked:
(QEMU) blockdev-add options={"driver":"file","id":"drive1",...}
Note that spaces are not allowed since str.split() is used to break up
the command-line arguments first.

qemu.org is held by a third-party and no core community contributor has
access to the DNS configuration. This leaves the website exposed to
outages due to DNS issues or IP address changes. For example, if the
web server IP address needs to change we cannot guarantee qemu.org will
point to it!
The newer qemu-project.org domain name is owned by Anthony Liguori
<anthony@codemonkey.ws>. You can confirm this by querying the whois
information. Also note that the #qemu IRC channel topic already
references qemu-project.org.
Short of having a dedicated legal entity to hold the domain name on
behalf of the community, qemu-project.org seems like the safest bet.
Let's replace references to qemu.org with qemu-project.org.
Note that git-submodule(1) does not detect URL changes. The following
commands clear out and re-initialize all submodules to ensure you are
using the latest URLs:
$ git submodule deinit . # you'll be warned if you have local changes
$ rm -rf .git/modules # also clear cached .git/ directories
$ git submodule update --init
