With the current 'qmp-shell' tool developers must first spawn QEMU with
a suitable -qmp arg and then spawn qmp-shell in a separate terminal
pointing to the right socket.

With 'qmp-shell-wrap' developers can ignore QMP sockets entirely and
just pass the QEMU command and arguments they want. The program will
listen on a UNIX socket and tell QEMU to connect QMP to that.

For example, this:

  # qmp-shell-wrap -- qemu-system-x86_64 -display none

Is roughly equivalent of running:

  # qemu-system-x86_64 -display none -qmp qmp-shell-1234 &
  # qmp-shell qmp-shell-1234

Except that 'qmp-shell-wrap' switches the socket peers around so that
it is the UNIX socket server and QEMU is the socket client. This makes
QEMU reliably go away when qmp-shell-wrap exits, closing the server
socket.

Adds some new failures to the python linters; try "make check-dev" in
the python sub-dir.

... Though, due to a bug in avocado, this helpfully doesn't actually
show you the failure output right now ...

making this little edit should fix that, sorry for the inconvenience here.

Cc'ing Beraldo, Willian once told me the nrunner switch was scheduled
for QEMU next release.
