This is a useful hint for users (or libvirt) whether a command returns
anything success and hence wait for reply or not.

Missing signed-off-by (I think you can add it as a reply to this patch).

Patch looks good, it's fixing an important omission from my no-success-response
support:

I'm not necessarilly against this patch, but I think we should clarify it's
purpose.

Commands that don't return success should still be "waited" on, since
they may still return an error. You can only stop waiting once you
recieve an error, a client-side timeout, or some "external" indicator
in the case of things like shutdown and suspend.

For guest-suspend*, this has always been the case, so there's no reason
to probe for their behavior.

For guest-shutdown, the semantics did change, but were considered
backward-compatible in that the new behavior would trigger a
client-side timeout for older clients, which was always a required
aspect of the protocol (since it's a connectionless protocol, possibly
malicious agent, etc), and the success response was always documented as
async and do-nothing.

So we only need to worry about how new clients deal with guest-shutdown,
Specifically, whether or not we will get a success response from the
agent. But since the success response was always meaningless, why
couldn't we just throw it away and continue waiting for a shutdown event
from QMP, or querying query-status for runstate change?

Would this solve the ambiguity? If so, we can get just update the
guest-shutdown documentation to detail how to handle "success" responses from
older agents (ignore them, basically). I think this is a nicer way to
handle newer clients than adding more things to probe for.
