Daniel P. Berrangé 5c66d7d8de python: support recording QMP session to a file
When running QMP commands with very large response payloads, it is often
not easy to spot the info you want. If we can save the response to a
file then tools like 'grep' or 'jq' can be used to extract information.

For convenience of processing, we merge the QMP command and response
dictionaries together:

  {
      "arguments": {},
      "execute": "query-kvm",
      "return": {
          "enabled": false,
          "present": true
      }
  }

Example usage

  $ ./scripts/qmp/qmp-shell-wrap -l q.log -p -- ./build/qemu-system-x86_64 -display none
  Welcome to the QMP low-level shell!
  Connected
  (QEMU) query-kvm
  {
      "return": {
          "enabled": false,
          "present": true
      }
  }
  (QEMU) query-mice
  {
      "return": [
          {
              "absolute": false,
              "current": true,
              "index": 2,
              "name": "QEMU PS/2 Mouse"
          }
      ]
  }

 $ jq --slurp '. | to_entries[] | select(.value.execute == "query-kvm") |
               .value.return.enabled' < q.log
   false
