qemu: monitor: Add API to help creating 'transaction' arguments

Add a new helper that will be solely used to create arguments for the
transaction command. Later on this will make it possible to remove the
overloading which was caused by the fact that snapshots were created
without transaction and also will help in blockdevification of snapshots.
