getting rid of the old handwritten parser that is inconsistent with
QMP in non-obvious ways and replacing it with translation to QMP
(both using aliases and a little C code) that makes the differences
obvious.
First posted in November 2020, more details in the cover letter:

Later versions (not yet posted as a series because I'm waiting for
aliases) also make -chardev accept JSON syntax, which is what
libvirt really wants to use.
I'm still not sure about this... It's an awful lot of code if the
aliases are only used by -chardev, and I'd rather use -object/object-add
for chardevs if that's at all possible.
