QMP port

[jpmorrison]

Expose Qemu management port over tcp

-qmp tcp::7008,server=on,nowait,nodelay

• Control/manage Qemu with qmp-shell included in qemu source
• Requires Python 3
• 172.17.0.3 is the docker container address in this example
• tcp::7008,server=on listens on any ip address. localhost may be better outside of containers
