[PATCH v3 0/2] python: a few improvements to qmp-shell

[Daniel P . Berrangé]

This makes the qmp-shell program a little more pleasant to use when you
are just trying to spawn a throw-away QEMU process to query some info
from.

First it introduces a 'qmp-shell-wrap' command that takes a QEMU command
line instead of QMP socket, and spawns QEMU automatically, so its life
is tied to that of the shell.

Second it adds ability to log QMP commands/responses to a file that can
be queried with 'jq' to extract information. This is good for commands
which return huge JSON docs.

In v3:

 - Add qmp-shell-wrap to setup.cfg entry points

In v2:

 - Unlink unix socket path on exit
 - Fix default command name
 - Deal with flake8/pylint warnings
