[Qemu-devel] [PULL 1/9] monitor: report entirety of hmp command on error

["Dr. David Alan Gilbert (git)" <dgilbert@redhat.com>]

From: Collin Walling <walling@linux.ibm.com>

When a user incorrectly provides an hmp command, an error response will be
printed that prompts the user to try "help <command name>". However, when
the command contains multiple parts e.g. "info uuid xyz", only the last
whitespace delimited string will be reported (in this example "info" will
be dropped and the message will read "Try "help uuid" for more information",
which is incorrect).

Let's correct this by capturing the entirety of the command from the command
line -- excluding any extraneous characters.
