Coverity rightly points out that qmp->buffer may not be NULL
terminated when passed to strncat.

Make the actual buffer a byte bigger than QMP_RECEIVE_BUFFER_SIZE and
always append a NULL byte.

I suspect that in practice we have not yet seen QMP messages
approaching the buffer size (4K).

Compile tested only.
