One of the most important missing feature in QMP today is its
supported commands documentation.
The plan is to make it part of self-description support, however
self-description is a big task we have been postponing for a
long time now and still don't know when it's going to be done.
In order not to compromise QMP adoption and make users' life easier,
this commit adds a simple text documentation which fully describes
all QMP supported commands.
This is not ideal for a number of reasons (harder to maintain,
text-only, etc) but does improve the current situation. To avoid at
least divering from the user monitor help and texi snippets, QMP bits
are also maintained inside qemu-monitor.hx, and hxtool is extended to
generate a single text file from them.

With capability negotiation support clients will only have a chance
to check QEMU's version (ie. issue 'query-version') after the
negotiation procedure is done.
It might be useful to clients to check QEMU's version before
negotiating features, though.
To allow that, this commit adds the QEMU's version object to the
greeting message.
Not really sure this is needed, but doesn't hurt anyway.
