First two patches add OOB detection for current qapi-schema tests

3rd patch addressed one suggestion from Eric too here:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2018-03/msg03177.html

I tried to batch the commands in a single string buffer but it's not
that easy - because currently qtest_async_qmp() (and finally,
qmp_fd_sendv()) does not really support multiple qobjects in a single
command buffer.  Let's put that aside.  After all even calling
qtest_async_qmp() many times would be really fast, since we are
basically filling things to the write buffer very quickly (I believe
that's much faster than the IO really flushed to the receiver side).

But, adding the "id" field and check that would be far easier, that's
what I did in that last patch.

It's fine even for 2.12, but I'll let people decide.

I consider added testsuite coverage of a new feature to be a bug fix (the feature was incomplete if the testsuite doesn't prevent regressions in the feature) and safe for freeze (the testsuite changes don't impact the main binary, so they can't break anything), so I'm happy to queue this through my qapi tree for 2.12 once it is reviewed.
