QMP: Add QEMU's version to the greeting message
With capability negotiation support clients will only have a chance to check QEMU's version (ie. issue 'query-version') after the negotiation procedure is done. It might be useful to clients to check QEMU's version before negotiating features, though. To allow that, this commit adds the QEMU's version object to the greeting message. Not really sure this is needed, but doesn't hurt anyway. Signed-off-by: Luiz Capitulino <lcapitulino@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
