The traditional QMP command handler interface
int qmp_FOO(Monitor *mon, const QDict *params, QObject **ret_data);
doesn't provide for returning an Error object. Instead, the handler
is expected to stash it in the monitor with qerror_report().
When we rebased QMP on top of QAPI, we didn't change this interface.
Instead, commit 776574d introduced "middle mode" as a temporary aid
for converting existing QMP commands to QAPI one by one. More than
three years later, we're still using it.
Middle mode has two effects:
* Instead of the native input marshallers
static void qmp_marshal_input_FOO(QDict *, QObject **, Error **)
it generates input marshallers conforming to the traditional QMP
command handler interface.
* It suppresses generation of code to register them with
qmp_register_command()
This permits giving them internal linkage.
As long as we need qmp-commands.hx, we can't use the registry behind
qmp_register_command(), so the latter has to stay for now.
The former has to go to get rid of qerror_report(). Changing all QMP
commands to fit the QAPI mold in one go was impractical back when we
started, but by now there are just a few stragglers left:
do_qmp_capabilities(), qmp_qom_set(), qmp_qom_get(), qmp_object_add(),
qmp_netdev_add(), do_device_add().
Switch middle mode to generate native input marshallers, and adapt the
stragglers. Simplifies both the monitor code and the stragglers.
Rename do_qmp_capabilities() to qmp_capabilities(), and
do_device_add() to qmp_device_add, because that's how QMP command
handlers are named today.
