This makes the qmp-shell program a little more pleasant to use when you are just trying to spawn a throw-away QEMU process to query some info from.
First it introduces a 'qmp-shell-wrap' command that takes a QEMU command line instead of QMP socket, and spawns QEMU automatically, so its life is tied to that of the shell. Second it adds ability to log QMP commands/responses to a file that can be queried with 'jq' to extract information. This is good for commands which return huge JSON docs. Daniel P.
