See how qmp_human_monitor_command is implemented.  It basically bypasses
the chardev part of the monitor.

Because this "source" command would be HMP-only, it wouldn't even need
to create a new monitor, save/restore cur_mon and fetch the output from
hmp.outbuf.  It could just read lines and pass them to
handle_hmp_command (possibly after removing newlines preceded by a
backslash?).
