This file contains a copy of the following information from the
qemu-monitor.hx file:
o QObject handlers entries
o QMP documentation (all SQMP/EQMP sections)
Right now it's only used to generate the QMP docs in QMP/, but
next commits will turn this into QMP's command dispatch table.
It's important to note that QObject handlers entries are going
to get duplicated: they will exist in both QMP's and HMP's
dispatch tables.
This will be fixed in the near future, when we add a proper
QMP call interface and HMP is converted to use it. This way we
can completely drop QObject handlers entries from HMP's tables.
NOTE: HMP specific constructions, like "q|quit", have been dropped.

A number of changes I prefer to do in one shot:
- Fix example
- Small clarifications
- Add multiple monitors example
- Add 'Development Process' section

One of the most important missing feature in QMP today is its
supported commands documentation.
The plan is to make it part of self-description support, however
self-description is a big task we have been postponing for a
long time now and still don't know when it's going to be done.
In order not to compromise QMP adoption and make users' life easier,
this commit adds a simple text documentation which fully describes
all QMP supported commands.
This is not ideal for a number of reasons (harder to maintain,
text-only, etc) but does improve the current situation. To avoid at
least divering from the user monitor help and texi snippets, QMP bits
are also maintained inside qemu-monitor.hx, and hxtool is extended to
generate a single text file from them.

With capability negotiation support clients will only have a chance
to check QEMU's version (ie. issue 'query-version') after the
negotiation procedure is done.
It might be useful to clients to check QEMU's version before
negotiating features, though.
To allow that, this commit adds the QEMU's version object to the
greeting message.
Not really sure this is needed, but doesn't hurt anyway.
