Almost none of our virJSONValue*Get* functions accept const virJSONValue
pointers and it wouldn't even make sense since we sometimes modify what
we get. And because there is no reason for preventing callers of
virJSONValueObjectForeachKeyValue from modifying the values they get in
each iteration we can just stop doing it.

Provide the Steal API for any code paths that will desire to grab the
object array and then free it afterwards rather than relying to freeing
the whole chain from the reply.
The internal representation of a JSON array counts the items in
size_t. However, for some reason, when asking for the count it's
reported as int. Firstly, we need the function to return a signed
type as it's returning -1 on an error. But, not every system has
integer the same size as size_t. Therefore, lets return ssize_t.

While working in qemu_monitor_json, I repeatedly found myself
getting a value then checking if it was an object. Add some
wrappers to make this task easier.
* src/util/virjson.c (virJSONValueObjectGetByType)
(virJSONValueObjectGetObject, virJSONValueObjectGetArray): New
functions.
(virJSONValueObjectGetString, virJSONValueObjectGetNumberInt)
(virJSONValueObjectGetNumberUint)
(virJSONValueObjectGetNumberLong)
(virJSONValueObjectGetNumberUlong)
(virJSONValueObjectGetNumberDouble)
(virJSONValueObjectGetBoolean): Simplify.
(virJSONValueIsNull): Change return type.
* src/util/virjson.h: Reflect changes.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (virjson.h): Export them.
* tests/jsontest.c (testJSONLookup): New test.

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.
* src/util/virjson.h (virJSONValueObjectRemoveKey): New function.
(_virJSONObject, _virJSONArray): Use correct type.
* src/util/virjson.c (virJSONValueObjectRemoveKey): Implement it.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (virjson.h): Export it.
* tests/jsontest.c (mymain): Test it.
