monitor: New format for handlers argument types

Current handlers argument types, as defined in qemu-monitor.hx file,
are a sequence of chars where each one represents one argument type
of the command handler. The number of chars is also used to know how
many arguments a given handler accepts.

This commit defines a new format, which makes mandatory the use of
a name for each argument.

For example, do_eject() command handler is currently defined as:

{ "eject", "-fB", do_eject, ... }

With the new format it becomes:

{ "eject", "force:-f,filename:B", do_eject, ... }

This way the Monitor will be capable of setting up a dictionary, using
each argument's name as the key and the argument itself as the value.

This commit also adds two new functions: key_get_info() and
next_arg_type(), both are used to parse the new format.

Currently key_get_info() consumes the 'key' part of the new format and
discards it, this way the current parsing code is not affected by this
change.
