Problem is, control is not a property of the character device. To
express this in a consistent way with everything else, you would have to
make this QemuOpts-like so it would look like

But so far, the monitor, serial, parallel, etc. devices don't take
QemuOpts.

OTH, having:

I think we should create a new option for monitor configuration, like this:
-mon mode={control,readline},chardev=<name>,more-options-here
So you'll create a qmp monitor socket this way:
-chardev socket,path=/tmp/qmpsock,id=qmp,server,nowait
-mon mode=control,chardev=qmp
Then the -monitor switch will be legacy/convinience syntax for a
readline monitor with auto-created chardev named 'monitor<nr>'.
If we need more options in the future they can be added easily.
