New option -compat lets you configure what to do when deprecated
interfaces get used. This is intended for testing users of the
management interfaces. It is experimental.
-compat deprecated-input=<in-policy> configures what to do when
deprecated input is received. Available policies:
* accept: Accept deprecated commands and arguments (default)
* reject: Reject them
* crash: Crash
-compat deprecated-output=<out-policy> configures what to do when
deprecated output is sent. Available output policies:
* accept: Emit deprecated command results and events (default)
* hide: Suppress them
For now, -compat covers only deprecated syntactic aspects of QMP. We
may want to extend it to cover semantic aspects, CLI, and experimental
features.

* PATCH 2: Harmless missing initialization fixed [Eric]
* PATCH 3+4: Harmless missing has_FOO = true fixed [Eric]
* PATCH 6+7: Commit message tweaked

v3:
* Rebased, non-trivial conflicts in PATCH 01+26+27+34 due to RST
