Problem:
"parser.head" is not NULL even if it's free'ed by "virJSONValueFree",
returning "parser.head" when "virJSONValueFromString" fails will cause
unexpected errors (libvirtd will crash sometimes), e.g.
In function "qemuMonitorJSONArbitraryCommand":
if (!(cmd = virJSONValueFromString(cmd_str)))
goto cleanup;
if (qemuMonitorJSONCommand(mon, cmd, &reply) < 0)
goto cleanup;
......
cleanup:
virJSONValueFree(cmd);
It will continues to send command to monitor even if "virJSONValueFromString"
is failed, and more worse, it trys to free "cmd" again.
Crash example:
{"error":{"class":"QMPBadInputObject","desc":"Expected 'execute' in QMP input","data":{"expected":"execute"}}}
{"error":{"class":"QMPBadInputObject","desc":"Expected 'execute' in QMP input","data":{"expected":"execute"}}}
error: server closed connection:
error: unable to connect to '/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock', libvirtd may need to be started: Connection refused
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
This fix is to:
1) return NULL for failure of "virJSONValueFromString",
2) and it seems "virJSONValueFree" uses incorrect loop index for type
of "VIR_JSON_TYPE_OBJECT", fix it together.

This introduces simple API for handling JSON data. There is
an internal data structure 'virJSONValuePtr' which stores a
arbitrary nested JSON value (number, string, array, object,
nul, etc). There are APIs for constructing/querying objects
and APIs for parsing/formatting string formatted JSON data.
This uses the YAJL library for parsing/formatting from
