QMP: allow JSON dict arguments in qmp-shell
qmp-shell hides the QMP wire protocol JSON encoding from the user. Most of the time this is helpful and makes the command-line human-friendly. Some QMP commands take a dict as an argument. In order to express this we need to revert back to JSON notation. This patch allows JSON dict arguments in qmp-shell so commands like blockdev-add and nbd-server-start can be invoked: (QEMU) blockdev-add options={"driver":"file","id":"drive1",...} Note that spaces are not allowed since str.split() is used to break up the command-line arguments first.
