John Snow 37094b6dd5 python: rename qemu.aqmp to qemu.qmp
Now that we are fully switched over to the new QMP library, move it back
over the old namespace. This is being done primarily so that we may
upload this package simply as "qemu.qmp" without introducing confusion
over whether or not "aqmp" is a new protocol or not.

The trade-off is increased confusion inside the QEMU developer
tree. Sorry!

Note: the 'private' member "_aqmp" in legacy.py also changes to "_qmp";
not out of necessity, but just to remove any traces of the "aqmp"
name.

QEMU Python Tooling
===================
This package provides QEMU tooling used by the QEMU project to build,
configure, and test QEMU. It is not a fully-fledged SDK and it is subject
to change at any time.
Usage
-----
The ``qemu.qmp`` subpackage provides a library for communicating with
QMP servers. The ``qemu.machine`` subpackage offers rudimentary
facilities for launching and managing QEMU processes. Refer to each
package's documentation
(``>>> help(qemu.qmp)``, ``>>> help(qemu.machine)``)
for more information.
