This might be OK to do right away, though.

I asked Markus this not too long ago; do we want to amend the QAPI
schema specification to allow commands to return with "Warning" strings,
or "Deprecated" stings to allow in-band deprecation notices for cases
like these?

example:

{ "return": {},
  "deprecated": True,
  "warning": "Omitting filter-node-name parameter is deprecated, it will
be required in the future"
}

There's no "error" key, so this should be recognized as success by
compatible clients, but they'll definitely see the extra information.

Part of my motivation is to facilitate a more aggressive deprecation of
legacy features by ensuring that we are able to rigorously notify users
through any means that they need to adjust their scripts.
