hmp: human-monitor-command: stop using the Memory chardev driver
The Memory chardev driver was added because, as the Monitor's output buffer was static, we needed a way to accumulate the output of an HMP commmand when ran by human-monitor-command. However, the Monitor's output buffer is now dynamic, so it's possible for the human-monitor-command to use it instead of the Memory chardev driver. This commit does that change, but there are two important observations about it: 1. We need a way to signal to the Monitor that it shouldn't call chardev functions when flushing its output. This is done by adding a new flag to the Monitor object called skip_flush (which is set to true by qmp_human_monitor_command()) 2. The current code has buffered semantics: QMP clients will only see a command's output if it flushes its output with a new-line character. This commit changes this to unbuffered, which means that QMP clients will see a command's output whenever the command prints anything. I don't think this will matter in practice though, as I believe all HMP commands print the new-line character anyway.
