With the current 'qmp-shell' tool developers must first spawn QEMU with
a suitable -qmp arg and then spawn qmp-shell in a separate terminal
pointing to the right socket.

With 'qmp-shell-wrap' developers can ignore QMP sockets entirely and
just pass the QEMU command and arguments they want. The program will
listen on a UNIX socket and tell QEMU to connect QMP to that.

For example, this:

 # qmp-shell-wrap -- qemu-system-x86_64 -display none

Is roughly equivalent of running:

 # qemu-system-x86_64 -display none -qmp qmp-shell-1234 &
 # qmp-shell qmp-shell-1234

Except that 'qmp-shell-wrap' switches the socket peers around so that
it is the UNIX socket server and QEMU is the socket client. This makes
QEMU reliably go away when qmp-shell-wrap exits, closing the server
socket.
