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.

qemu.org is held by a third-party and no core community contributor has
access to the DNS configuration. This leaves the website exposed to
outages due to DNS issues or IP address changes. For example, if the
web server IP address needs to change we cannot guarantee qemu.org will
point to it!
The newer qemu-project.org domain name is owned by Anthony Liguori
<anthony@codemonkey.ws>. You can confirm this by querying the whois
information. Also note that the #qemu IRC channel topic already
references qemu-project.org.
Short of having a dedicated legal entity to hold the domain name on
behalf of the community, qemu-project.org seems like the safest bet.
Let's replace references to qemu.org with qemu-project.org.
Note that git-submodule(1) does not detect URL changes. The following
commands clear out and re-initialize all submodules to ensure you are
using the latest URLs:
$ git submodule deinit . # you'll be warned if you have local changes
$ rm -rf .git/modules # also clear cached .git/ directories
$ git submodule update --init
