This test traverses the QOM sub-tree rooted at /machine with a
combination of qom-list and qom-get. In my x86_64 testing, it runs
almost 12000 QMP commands in 34 seconds. With -m slow, we test more
machines, and it takes almost 84000 commands in almost four minutes.
Since commit 3dd93992ff (tests/qtest/qom-test: unit test for
qom-list-get), the test traverses this tree a second time, with
qom-list-get. In my x86_64 testing, this takes some 200 QMP commands
and around two seconds, and some 1100 in just under 12s with -m slow.
Traversing the entire tree is useful, because it exercise the QOM
property getters. Traversing it twice not so much.
Make the qom-list / qom-get test shallow unless -m slow is given:
don't recurse. Cuts the number of commands to around 600, and run
time to under 5s for me.
