QMP: Input support

The JSON stream parser is used to do QMP input. When there
are enough characters to be parsed it calls Monitor's
handle_qmp_command() function to handle the input.

This function's job is to check if the input is correct and
call the appropriate handler. In other words, it does for QMP
what handle_user_command() does for the user protocol.

This means that handle_qmp_command() also has to parse the
(ugly) "args_type" format to able to get the arguments names
and types expected by the handler.

The format to input commands in QMP is as follows:

{ "execute": json-string,
  "id": json-value, "arguments": json-object }

Please, note that this commit also adds "id" support.
