A previous discussion brought up the fact that clients should
not have to parse version string from QMP, it should be given
to them pre-split.

Change query-version output format from:

  { "qemu": "0.11.50", "package": "" }

to:

  { qemu: { "major": 0, "minor": 11, "micro": 5 }, "package": "" }

The major, minor & micro keys are all integer values. package is
an arbitrary string whose format is defined by the OS package
maintainer.

There is no need to preserve the existing string format of the 'qemu'
key, since QMP is not yet declared stable.

We need to drop package entirely.

Instead vendors should use the vendor specific namespace to extend the 
version.

I'd suggest changing the version output to:

{ 'major': 0, 'minor': 11, 'micro': 5 }

For something like kvm, it can introduce a '__org.linux-kvm.release', 2 
to that main dictionary.

 Why? It's something that shouldn't be in the greeting message, but it's
a component of the version, so the only way to query it from QMP is by
using query-version.

 IMHO, vendor in QMP's terminology is someone adding extensions to
the protocol. Most distros won't do that, but they may carry not
upstream merged patches.

 I think we need both, 'vendor' and 'package' keys and maybe 'vendor'
should be part of the greeting message so that clients can identify they
are talking to a non standard version.
