There were no QMP capabilities defined. Define the first capability,
"oob", to allow out-of-band messages.
After this patch, we will allow QMP clients to enable QMP capabilities
when sending the first "qmp_capabilities" command. Originally we are
starting QMP session with no arguments like:
{ "execute": "qmp_capabilities" }
Now we can enable some QMP capabilities using (take OOB as example,
which is the only capability that we support):
{ "execute": "qmp_capabilities",
"arguments": { "enable": [ "oob" ] } }
When the "arguments" key is not provided, no capability is enabled.
For capability "oob", the monitor needs to be run on a dedicated IO
thread, otherwise the command will fail. For example, trying to enable
OOB on a MUXed typed QMP monitor will fail.
One thing to mention is that QMP capabilities are per-monitor, and also
when the connection is closed due to some reason, the capabilities will
be reset.
Also, touch up qmp-test.c to test the new bits.
