Currently we have two distinct QAPI schemas, one covering the system
emulator for QMP and subset of CLI args, and one covering the guest
agent.


This new schema isn't mapping to anything in QMP / CLI right now though.
It can be used to decide how to generate CLI args, but it isn't describing
those CLI args. So to me this is a 3rd distinct schema.
