qmp: support out-of-band (oob) execution

Having "allow-oob":true for a command does not mean that this command
will always be run in out-of-band mode.  The out-of-band quick path will
only be executed if we specify the extra "run-oob" flag when sending the
QMP request:

    { "execute":   "command-that-allows-oob",
      "arguments": { ... },
      "control":   { "run-oob": true } }

The "control" key is introduced to store this extra flag.  "control"
field is used to store arguments that are shared by all the commands,
rather than command specific arguments.  Let "run-oob" be the first.

Note that in the patch I exported qmp_dispatch_check_obj() to be used to
check the request earlier, and at the same time allowed "id" field to be
there since actually we always allow that.
