From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <dgilbert@redhat.com>

HMP has had a qom-set for a long time, but not a matching qom-get;
various attempts have been made to add one over the last 5 years.
Here's another go.

It's got simpler due to a suggestion by Markus to take the output
from qmp's qom-get.  While we're here, rework hmp's qom-set to be
a wrapper around the qmp equivalent, which simplifies it a bit.

In one post people didn't particularly like the use of JSON,
but in the intervening 4 years no one has implemented anything to
avoid it, and the output is trivially readable for non-structures
and still pretty readable for (the very rare) structures.
