[PATCH RFC 05/11] vl: Demonstrate (bad) CLI wrapped around QMP

[Markus Armbruster]

To ensure you can do everything with QMP, the CLI should wrap around
QMP, like HMP should.

This commit does that in the stupidest way I can think of: each CLI
argument is parsed as QMP command, and fed to the QMP machinery.
Errors are reported, return values thrown away.

This is of course *bad* CLI.  To get decent CLI, we'll want to
translate from CLI syntax to QMP.  We may want to target QMP's C
interface instead of parse trees.

Note that this CLI processing code is cleanly separated from other
startup code, unlike the old CLI code I axed.

Only QMP commands with 'allow-preconfig': true work at this time.
This is because CLI is processed early in startup.  The remainder of
the series is about letting the user interleave CLI and then QMP with
startup.  This will make arbitrary QMP commands available in the CLI.
