We have two flavors of vararg usage in qtest; make it clear that qmp() has different semantics than hmp(), and let the compiler enforce that hmp() is used correctly. However, qmp() (and friends) only accept a subset of printf flags look-alikes (namely, those that our JSON parser understands), and what is worse, qmp("true") (the JSON keyword 'true') is different from qmp("%s", "true") (the JSON string '"true"'), so marking those as printf-like would produce more harm from bogus warnings than it helps (we may have made a mistake in previously marking qobject_from_jsonf(), but this patch is not addressing that).
