In 'qemuProcessQMPLaunch' qemu is very specifically launched using it's internal '-daemonize' flag (see comment in the function) to ensure that the monitor socket is ready and opened prior to attempting the monitor connection. This means we don't have to retry the connection to the monitor in qemuMonitorOpen as the socket will be already there.
