[PATCH 1/2] python/qmp: add send_fd_scm directly to QEMUMonitorProtocol

[John Snow <jsnow@redhat.com>]

It turns out you can do this directly from Python ... and because of
this, you don't need to worry about setting the fds, or spawning another
process.

Doing this is helpful because it allows QEMUMonitorProtocol to keep its
file descriptor and socket object as private implementation details,
which allows me to construct a different implementation -- a Synchronous
wrapper around my Async QMP library.
