Markus Armbruster 00ecec151d qmp: Redo how the client requests out-of-band execution
Commit cf869d5317 "qmp: support out-of-band (oob) execution" added a
general mechanism for command-independent arguments just for an
out-of-band flag:

    The "control" key is introduced to store this extra flag.  "control"
    field is used to store arguments that are shared by all the commands,
    rather than command specific arguments.  Let "run-oob" be the first.

However, it failed to reject unknown members of "control".  For
instance, in QMP command

    {"execute": "query-name", "id": 42, "control": {"crap": true}}

"crap" gets silently ignored.

Instead of fixing this, revert the general "control" mechanism
(because YAGNI), and do it the way I initially proposed, with key
"exec-oob".  Simpler code, simpler interface.

An out-of-band command

    {"execute": "migrate-pause", "id": 42, "control": {"run-oob": true}}

becomes

    {"exec-oob": "migrate-pause", "id": 42}
