The convention is for HMP commands that show information to be "info"
sub-commands.  So this example would be "info rocker sw1".  See
monitor.c:info_cmds[].

The convention for QMP is to call the command "query-rocker".

HMP: info rocker-ports sw1
QMP: query-rocker-ports

and so on.

For versioning, the schema should mention which QEMU release a command
was added in:

 # Since: 2.3

That way QAPI consumers can plan accordingly and be aware when older
QEMU binaries may not implement a command.
