QMP commands don't need to be escaped since converting them to json
also escapes special characters. When a QMP command fails, however,
libvirt falls back to HMP commands. These fallback functions
(qemuMonitorText*) do their own escaping, and pass the result directly
to qemuMonitorHMPCommandWithFd. If the monitor is in json mode, these
pre-escaped commands will be escaped again when converted to json,
which can result in the wrong arguments being sent.
For example, a filename test\file would be sent in json as
test\\file.
This prevented attaching an image file with a " or \ in its name in
qemu 1.0.50, and also broke rbd attachment (which uses backslashes to
escape some internal arguments.)
