Daniel P. Berrange 603476c25c qdict: implement a qdict_crumple method for un-flattening a dict
The qdict_flatten() method will take a dict whose elements are
further nested dicts/lists and flatten them by concatenating
keys.

The qdict_crumple() method aims to do the reverse, taking a flat
qdict, and turning it into a set of nested dicts/lists. It will
apply nesting based on the key name, with a '.' indicating a
new level in the hierarchy. If the keys in the nested structure
are all numeric, it will create a list, otherwise it will create
a dict.

If the keys are a mixture of numeric and non-numeric, or the
numeric keys are not in strictly ascending order, an error will
be reported.

As an example, a flat dict containing

 {
   'foo.0.bar': 'one',
   'foo.0.wizz': '1',
   'foo.1.bar': 'two',
   'foo.1.wizz': '2'
 }

will get turned into a dict with one element 'foo' whose
value is a list. The list elements will each in turn be
dicts.

 {
   'foo': [
     { 'bar': 'one', 'wizz': '1' },
     { 'bar': 'two', 'wizz': '2' }
   ],
 }

If the key is intended to contain a literal '.', then it must
be escaped as '..'. ie a flat dict

  {
     'foo..bar': 'wizz',
     'bar.foo..bar': 'eek',
     'bar.hello': 'world'
  }

Will end up as

  {
     'foo.bar': 'wizz',
     'bar': {
        'foo.bar': 'eek',
        'hello': 'world'
     }
  }

The intent of this function is that it allows a set of QemuOpts
to be turned into a nested data structure that mirrors the nesting
used when the same object is defined over QMP.
