As another convenience to allow using commands that expect a dict as
argument, this patch adds support for foo.bar=value syntax, similar to
command line argument style:
(QEMU) blockdev-add options.driver=file options.id=drive1 options.filename=...

qmp-shell hides the QMP wire protocol JSON encoding from the user. Most
of the time this is helpful and makes the command-line human-friendly.
Some QMP commands take a dict as an argument. In order to express this
we need to revert back to JSON notation.
This patch allows JSON dict arguments in qmp-shell so commands like
blockdev-add and nbd-server-start can be invoked:
(QEMU) blockdev-add options={"driver":"file","id":"drive1",...}
Note that spaces are not allowed since str.split() is used to break up
the command-line arguments first.
