[PULL 13/32] python/aqmp: add QMP Message format

[John Snow]

The Message class is here primarily to serve as a solid type to use for
mypy static typing for unambiguous annotation and documentation.

We can also stuff JSON serialization and deserialization into this class
itself so it can be re-used even outside this infrastructure.
