qobject: Change qobject_to_json()'s value to GString

qobject_to_json() and qobject_to_json_pretty() build a GString, then
covert it to QString.  Just one of the callers actually needs a
QString: qemu_rbd_parse_filename().  A few others need a string they
can modify: qmp_send_response(), qga's send_response(), to_json_str(),
and qmp_fd_vsend_fds().  The remainder just need a string.

Change qobject_to_json() and qobject_to_json_pretty() to return the
GString.

qemu_rbd_parse_filename() now has to convert to QString.  All others
save a QString temporary.  to_json_str() actually becomes a bit
simpler, because GString provides more convenient modification
functions.
