monitor: Command-line flag to enable control mode
This commit adds a flag called 'control' to the '-monitor'
command-line option. This flag enables control mode.
The syntax is:
qemu [...] -monitor control,<device>
Where <device> is a chardev (excluding 'vc', for obvious reasons).
For example:
$ qemu [...] -monitor control,tcp:localhost:4444,server
Will run QEMU in control mode, waiting for a client TCP connection
on localhost port 4444.
NOTE: I've tried using QemuOpts for this, but turns out that it
will try to parse the device part, which should be untouched.
