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":{...}}]
Add support for arrays.
CAVEAT: The parser is still extremely rudimentary and does not
expect to find spaces in {} nor [] expressions. This patch does
not improve this functionality.
