ce22616181 guest-agent: document allow-rpcs in config file section
While the `allow-rpcs` option is documented in the CLI options
section, it was missing in the section about the configuration file
syntax.

And while it's mentioned that "the list of keys follows the command line
options", having `block-rpcs` there but not `allow-rpcs` seems like
being a potential source of confusion; and as it's cheap to add let's
just do so.

2e3b166c41 qga: centralize logic for disabling/enabling commands
It is confusing having many different pieces of code enabling and
disabling commands, and it is not clear that they all have the same
semantics, especially wrt prioritization of the block/allow lists.
The code attempted to prevent the user from setting both the block
and allow lists concurrently, however, the logic was flawed as it
checked settings in the configuration file  separately from the
command line arguments. Thus it was possible to set a block list
in the config file and an allow list via a command line argument.
The --dump-conf option also creates a configuration file with both
keys present, even if unset, which means it is creating a config
that cannot actually be loaded again.

Centralizing the code in a single method "ga_apply_command_filters"
will provide a strong guarantee of consistency and clarify the
intended behaviour. With this there is no compelling technical
reason to prevent concurrent setting of both the allow and block
lists, so this flawed restriction is removed.

f8bf2347ed qga: allow configuration file path via the cli
Allowing the user to set the QGA_CONF environment variable to change
the default configuration file path is very unusual practice, made
more obscure since this ability is not documented.

This introduces the more normal '-c PATH'  / '--config=PATH' command
line argument approach. This requires that we parse the comamnd line
twice, since we want the command line arguments to take priority over
the configuration file settings in general.

133789e1bf qga: Add new option --allow-rpcs
The allow-rpcs option accepts a comma-separated list of RPCs to
enable. This option is opposite to --block-rpcs. Using --block-rpcs
and --allow-rpcs at the same time is not allowed.

582a098e6c qga: Replace 'blacklist' command line and config file options by 'block-rpcs'
Let's use a more appropriate wording for this command line and config
file option. The old ones are still accepted for compatibility reasons,
but marked as deprecated now so that it could be removed in a future
version of QEMU.

This change is based on earlier patches from Philippe Mathieu-Daudé,
with the idea for the new option name suggested by BALATON Zoltan.

And while we're at it, replace the "?" in the help text with "help"
since that does not have the problem of conflicting with the wildcard
character of the shells.
