qmp: remove qmp_cpu
'qmp_cpu' was implemented in commit 755f196898 ("qapi: Convert the cpu
command") as a functional no-op, a QMP call that does nothing and
return success. The idea, apparently, was to provide a counterpart
for the HMP 'hmp_cpu' command, introduced in the same commit.
After 6 years of its creation, qmp_cpu remains a functional no-op
that does nothing, having no value for any caller/user. A proposal
was sent to implement qmp_cpu like hmp_cpu works, but it was denied
[1]. The reason is that QMP must be as stateless as possible and a
function that changes its state (the current CPU monitor in the case
of qmp_cpu) goes against it. Any QMP command that needs a specific
monitor CPU setup must provide it in its arguments, instead of relying
in the current QMP monitor state.
After discussions that happened in [2] it was decided that a command
that does nothing since its birth, no one uses for anything and will
not be implemented, should be deprecated and erased. Given that we will
*not* provide any replacement for qmp_cpu and we believe that there
is no user relying on it, there is no point in adding a deprecation
delay for it.
So, this patch nukes qmp_cpu from QEMU code, removing both its blank
implementation in qmp.c and its doc in qapi-schema.json.
