Add 'query-events' command to QMP to query async events
Sometimes it is neccessary for an application to determine
whether a particular QMP event is available, so they can
decide whether to use compatibility code instead. This
introduces a new 'query-events' command to QMP to do just
that
{ "execute": "query-events" }
{"return": [{"name": "WAKEUP"},
{"name": "SUSPEND"},
{"name": "DEVICE_TRAY_MOVED"},
{"name": "BLOCK_JOB_CANCELLED"},
{"name": "BLOCK_JOB_COMPLETED"},
...snip...
{"name": "SHUTDOWN"}]}
* monitor.c: Turn MonitorEvent -> string conversion
into a lookup from a static table of constant strings.
Add impl of qmp_query_events monitor command handler
* qapi-schema.json, qmp-commands.hx: Define contract of
query-events command

+query-events
+--------------
+
+List QMP available events.
+
+Each event is represented by a json-object, the returned value is a json-array
+of all events.
+
+Each json-object contains:
+
+- "name": event's name (json-string)
+
+Example:
+
+-> { "execute": "query-events" }
+<- {
+ "return":[
+ {
+ "name":"SHUTDOWN"
+ },
+ {
+ "name":"RESET"
+ }
+ ]
+ }
+
+Note: This example has been shortened as the real response is too long.
