[libvirt] [PATCH] tests: monitor: json: Fix error message when returning json in json

The qemu JSON monitor test allows to test also expected command
arguments. As the error from the monitor simulator is returned as a
simulated qemu error (in JSON) all other JSON contained in the error
message needs to be escaped. This will happen if the monitor command
under test receives a JSON array as an argument.

This will improve the error message from:
libvirt:  error : internal error: cannot parse json { "error":  { "desc":
"Invalid value of argument 'keys' of command 'send-key': expected 'ble'
got '[{"type":"number","data":43},{"type":"number","data":26},
{"type":"number","data":46},{"type":"number","data":32}]'",
"class": "UnexpectedCommand" } }: lexical error: invalid string in json text.

To:
libvirt: QEMU Driver error : internal error: unable to execute QEMU
command 'send-key': Invalid value of argument 'keys' of command
'send-key': expected 'ble' got '[{"type":"number","data":43},
{"type":"number","data":26},{"type":"number","data":46},
{"type":"number","data":32}]'

This improvement will not have any effect on tests executing as
expected, but it will help test development.
