A set of patches adding completion support for various hmp commands. Following
other series that were merged earlier.

Hani Benhabiles (7):
  monitor: Add ringbuf_write and ringbuf_read argument completion.
  monitor: Add watchdog_action argument completion.
  monitor: Add migrate_set_capability completion.
  monitor: Add host_net_add device argument completion.
  readline: Make completion strings always unique.
  monitor: Add host_net_remove arguments completion.
  monitor: Add delvm and loadvm argument completion.

Export chr_is_ringbuf() function. Also remove left-over function prototypes
while at it.

Thank you for doing this; I spend way too much time typing these commands.

It's a shame you have to do all of these manually; if we could tell something
that we had an enum of 'MigrationCapability' then it could remove the command
specific glue.

HMP command arguments are specified by an args_type string, which can't
express "enumeration", so we use strings instead.

We could hack in another arguments type 'E', abusing the parameter name
like type 'O'.  But I think the args_type string is long past its "best
before" date.

We could replace it by a command schema, like QMP's.  Differences to QMP
include: arguments are positional, fewer types are accepted, and there's
convenience syntax such as size suffixes.

Not exactly an easy task, I'm afraid.
