Add a verbose flag that shows the QMP command that was
constructed, to allow for later copy/pasting, reference,
debugging, etc.
The QMP is converted from a Python literal to JSON first,
to ensure that it is viable input to the actual QMP parser.
As a side-effect, this JSON output will helpfully show all
the necessary conversions that were performed on the input,
illustrating that "True" was transformed back into "true",
literal values are now escaped with "" instead of '', and so on.

Add a special processing mode to craft transactions.
By entering "transaction(" the shell will enter a special
mode where each subsequent command will be saved as a transaction
instead of executed as an individual command.
The transaction can be submitted by entering ")" on a line by itself.
Examples:
Separate lines:
(QEMU) transaction(
TRANS> block-dirty-bitmap-add node=drive0 name=bitmap1
TRANS> block-dirty-bitmap-clear node=drive0 name=bitmap0
TRANS> )
With a transaction action included on the first line:
(QEMU) transaction( block-dirty-bitmap-add node=drive0 name=bitmap2
TRANS> block-dirty-bitmap-add node=drive0 name=bitmap3
TRANS> )
As a one-liner, with just one transaction action:
(QEMU) transaction( block-dirty-bitmap-add node=drive0 name=bitmap0 )
As a side-effect of this patch, blank lines are now parsed as no-ops,
regardless of which shell mode you are in.

This includes support for [] expressions, single-quotes in
QMP expressions (which is not strictly a part of JSON), and
the ability to use "True", "False" and "None" literals instead
of JSON's equivalent true, false, and null literals.
qmp-shell currently allows you to describe values as
JSON expressions:
key={"key":{"key2":"val"}}
But it does not currently support arrays, which are needed
for serializing and deserializing transactions:
key=[{"type":"drive-backup","data":{...}}]
qmp-shell also only currently accepts doubly quoted strings
as-per JSON spec, but QMP allows single quotes.
Lastly, python allows you to utilize "True" or "False" as
boolean literals, but JSON expects "true" or "false". Expand
qmp-shell to allow the user to type either, converting to the
correct type.
As a consequence of the above, the key=val parsing is also improved
to give better error messages if a key=val token is not provided.
CAVEAT: The parser is still extremely rudimentary and does not
expect to find spaces in {} nor [] expressions. This patch does
not improve this functionality.

Refactor the qmp-shell command line processing function
into two components. This will be used to allow sub-expressions,
which will assist us in adding transactional support to qmp-shell.

As another convenience to allow using commands that expect a dict as
argument, this patch adds support for foo.bar=value syntax, similar to
command line argument style:
(QEMU) blockdev-add options.driver=file options.id=drive1 options.filename=...

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.
