qom: qom_{get, set} monitor commands (v2)
This allows clients to read and write device model properties through QMP. QAPI
doesn't support Visitor types yet and these commands are special in that they
don't work with fixed types.
I've added a documentation stub to qapi-schema.json so we can keep consistency
there.
