[PATCH v7 30/35] tests/functional: add a stress test for monitor hot unplug

["Daniel P. Berrangé" <berrange@redhat.com>]

When unplugging a monitor there is a careful synchronization dance
between the monitor handling the "object-del" command and the
command processing for the monitor being deleted.

The stress test runs a busy loop of 'query-qmp-schema' on a second
monitor, while the primary monitor requests its deletion.
