This helper eases iterating all key=value pairs stored in a JSON
object. Usually we pick only certain known keys from a JSON object, but
this will allow to walk complete objects and have the callback act on
those.
To be able to easily represent nodesets and other data stored in
virBitmaps in libvirt, this patch introduces a set of helpers that allow
to convert the bitmap to and from JSON value objects.
Our qemu monitor code has a converter from key-value pairs to a json
value object. I want to re-use the code later and having it part of the
monitor command generator is inflexible. Split it out into a separate
helper.
In an upcoming patch, I need the way to safely transfer a nested
virJSON object out of its parent container for independent use,
even after the parent is freed.
