This is added in anticipation of wanting it for a synchronous wrapper
for the iotest interface. Normally, execute() and execute_msg() both
raise QMP errors in the form of Python exceptions.
Many iotests expect the entire reply as-is. To reduce churn there, add a
private execution interface that will ease transition churn. However, I
do not wish to encourage its use, so it will remain a private interface.

Add execute() and execute_msg().
_execute() is split into _issue() and _reply() halves so that
hypothetical subclasses of QMP that want to support different execution
paradigms can do so.
I anticipate a synchronous interface may have need of separating the
send/reply phases. However, I do not wish to expose that interface here
and want to actively discourage it, so they remain private interfaces.

Add the ability to handle and route messages in qmp_protocol.py. The
interface for actually sending anything still isn't added until next
commit.

The star of our show!
Add most of the QMP protocol, sans support for actually executing
commands. No problem, that happens in the next several commits.
