qmp: fix handling of cmd with equal mark in qmp-shell
qmp-shell splits the argument and value of input command
by equal mark("="). But there are commands whose values
include equal mark themselves, and the json built by
qmp-shell will not correct. For example, when using NBD as
the target of block-backup command, the input
"block-backup target=nbd+unix:///drive0?socket=/tmp/nbd.sock"
will fail, because the json built will be as follows:
{
"execute":"block-backup",
"arguments":{"target":"nbd+unix:///drive0?socket"}
}
Fix it by joining the sections split by equal mark excluding the
first section in __build_cmd function when the length of sections
is larger than two.

QEMU Monitor Protocol
=====================
Introduction
-------------
The QEMU Monitor Protocol (QMP) allows applications to communicate with
QEMU's Monitor.
QMP is JSON[1] based and currently has the following features:
- Lightweight, text-based, easy to parse data format
- Asynchronous messages support (ie. events)
- Capabilities Negotiation
For detailed information on QMP's usage, please, refer to the following files:
o qmp-spec.txt QEMU Monitor Protocol current specification
o qmp-commands.txt QMP supported commands (auto-generated at build-time)
o qmp-events.txt List of available asynchronous events
There is also a simple Python script called 'qmp-shell' available.
IMPORTANT: It's strongly recommended to read the 'Stability Considerations'
section in the qmp-commands.txt file before making any serious use of QMP.

Usage
-----
To enable QMP, you need a QEMU monitor instance in "control mode". There are
two ways of doing this.
The simplest one is using the '-qmp' command-line option. The following
example makes QMP available on localhost port 4444:
$ qemu [...] -qmp tcp:localhost:4444,server
However, in order to have more complex combinations, like multiple monitors,
the '-mon' command-line option should be used along with the '-chardev' one.
For instance, the following example creates one user monitor on stdio and one
QMP monitor on localhost port 4444.
$ qemu [...] -chardev stdio,id=mon0 -mon chardev=mon0,mode=readline \
-chardev socket,id=mon1,host=localhost,port=4444,server \
-mon chardev=mon1,mode=control
Please, refer to QEMU's manpage for more information.
Simple Testing
--------------
To manually test QMP one can connect with telnet and issue commands by hand:
$ telnet localhost 4444
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.

{ "execute": "qmp_capabilities" }
{"return": {}}
{ "execute": "query-version" }
{"return": {"qemu": {"micro": 50, "minor": 13, "major": 0}, "package": ""}}
Development Process
-------------------
When changing QMP's interface (by adding new commands, events or modifying
existing ones) it's mandatory to update the relevant documentation, which is
one (or more) of the files listed in the 'Introduction' section*.
Also, it's strongly recommended to send the documentation patch first, before
doing any code change. This is so because:
1. Avoids the code dictating the interface
2. Review can improve your interface. Letting that happen before
you implement it can save you work.
* The qmp-commands.txt file is generated from the qmp-commands.hx one, which
is the file that should be edited.
