libxl_qmp: Introduces helpers to create an argument list.

Those functions will be used to create a "list" of parameters that
contain more than just strings. This list is converted by qmp_send to
a string to be sent to QEMU.

Those functions will be used in the next two patches, so right now
there are not compiled.
