If you are returning information about an existing CPU, why not just
extend the output of "query-cpus"?

(Existing qmp_query_cpus() calls cpu_synchronize_state(), which may be
undesired. But in this case we could add an optional parameter to
disable the return of data that requires stopping the VCPU).
