Does v2 implement your suggestion?

I dislike it, because it makes query-command-line-options claim
-async-teardown has an option argument with unknown keys, which is
plainly wrong, and must be treated as a special case.  Worse, a new kind
of special case.

Can we have a QMP command, so libvirt can use query-qmp-schema?

In case QMP becomes functional too late for the command to actually
work: make it always fail for now.  It can still serve as a witness for
-async-teardown.  If we rework QEMU startup so that QMP can do
everything the CLI can do, we'll make the QMP command work.
