Making 'allow-oob' optional in SchemaInfoCommand permits omitting it in the common case. Shrinks query-qmp-schema's output from 122.1KiB to 118.6KiB for me. Note that out-of-band execution is still experimental (you have to configure the monitor with x-oob=on to use it). Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <address@hidden> ---
I see you have already posted the pull request, but the idea makes sense to me. In general, making what was previously always output now be optional can risk confusing a client that depends on the value being present; but since allow-oob has not always been present, and since it is still gated by x-oob=on, any sane client using OOB can easily be coded to treat an absent indication as not allowing oob for that particular command.
