monitor: Command-line flag to enable control mode
This commit adds a flag called 'control' to the '-monitor' command-line option. This flag enables control mode. The syntax is: qemu [...] -monitor control,<device> Where <device> is a chardev (excluding 'vc', for obvious reasons). For example: $ qemu [...] -monitor control,tcp:localhost:4444,server Will run QEMU in control mode, waiting for a client TCP connection on localhost port 4444. NOTE: I've tried using QemuOpts for this, but turns out that it will try to parse the device part, which should be untouched.

Redirect the monitor to host device @var{dev} (same devices as the
serial port).
The default device is @code{vc} in graphical mode and @code{stdio} in
non graphical mode.
