qmp: Fix design bug and read beyond buffer in memchar-write
Command memchar-write takes data and size parameter. Begs the question what happens when data doesn't match size. With format base64, qmp_memchar_write() copies the full data argument, regardless of size argument. With format utf8, qmp_memchar_write() copies size bytes from data, happily reading beyond data. Copies crap from the heap or even crashes. Drop the size parameter, and always copy the full data argument.
