[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 5/7] monitor: remove "x-oob", turn oob on by default

[Peter Xu]

OOB commands were introduced in commit cf869d53172.  Unfortunately, we
ran into a regression, and had to disable them by default for 2.12
(commit be933ffc23).

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-03/msg06231.html

The regression has since been fixed (commit 951702f39c7 "monitor: bind
dispatch bh to iohandler context").  Time to re-enable OOB.

This patch partly reverts be933ffc23 (monitor: new parameter "x-oob"),
and turns it on again for non-MUX QMPs.  Note that we can't enable
Out-Of-Band for monitors with MUX-typed chardev backends, because not
all the chardev frontends can run without main thread, or can run in
multiple threads.

Some trivial touch-up in the test code is required to make sure qmp-test
won't break.
