Now we have several qemu-ga commands not returning response on success.
It has been documented in qga/qapi-schema.json already. This patch exposes
the 'success-response' flag by extending 'guest-info' command. With this
change, the clients can handle the command response more flexibly.

In the original code, qmp_get_command_list is used to construct
a list of all commands' name. To get the information of all qga
commands, it traverses the name list and search the command info
with its name. So it can cause O(n^2) in the number of commands.
This patch adds an interface to traverse the qmp command list by
QmpCommand to replace qmp_get_command_list. It can decrease the
complexity from O(n^2) to O(n).

I figure it's freed somewhere deep down in QAPI, with g_free().

Previously qemu-ga version was defined seperately. Since it is aligned
with QEMU releases, use QEMU_VERSION instead. This also implies the
version bump for 1.1[-rcN] release of qemu-ga.

guest-sync leaves it as an exercise to the user as to how to reliably
obtain the response to guest-sync if the client had previously read in a
partial response (due qemu-ga previously being restarted mid-"sentence"
due to reboot, forced restart, etc).
qemu-ga handles this situation on its end by having a client precede
their guest-sync request with a 0xFF byte (invalid UTF-8), which
qemu-ga/QEMU JSON parsers will treat as a flush event. Thus we can
reliably flush the qemu-ga parser state in preparation for receiving
the guest-sync request.
guest-sync-delimited provides the same functionality for a client: when
a guest-sync-delimited is issued, qemu-ga will precede it's response
with a 0xFF byte that the client can use as an indicator to flush its
buffer/parser state in preparation for reliably receiving the
guest-sync-delimited response.
It is also useful as an optimization for clients, since, after issuing a
guest-sync-delimited, clients can safely discard all stale data read
from the channel until the 0xFF is found.

Many of the current RPC implementations are very much POSIX-specific
and require complete re-writes for Windows. There are however a small
set of core guest agent commands that are common to both, and other
commands such as guest-file-* which *may* be portable. So we introduce
commands.c for the latter, and will rename guest-agent-commands.c to
commands-posix.c in a future commit. Windows implementations will go in
commands-win32.c, eventually.
