qapi: add support for command options

Options allow for changes in commands behavior. This commit introduces
the QCO_NO_SUCCESS_RESP option, which causes a command to not emit a
success response.

This is needed by commands such as qemu-ga's guest-shutdown, which
may not be able to complete before the VM vanishes. In this case, it's
useful and simpler not to bother sending a success response.
