display: add -display spice-app launching a Spice client
Add a new display backend that will configure Spice to allow a remote
client to control QEMU in a similar fashion as other QEMU display
backend/UI like GTK.
For this to work, it will set up Spice server with a unix socket, and
register a VC chardev that will be exposed as Spice ports. A QMP
monitor is also exposed as a Spice port, this allows the remote client
fuller qemu control and state handling.
- doesn't handle VC set_echo() - this doesn't seem a strong
requirement, very few front-end use it
- spice options can be tweaked with other -spice arguments
- Windows support shouldn't be hard to do, but will probably use a TCP
port instead
- we may want to watch the child process to quit automatically if it
crashed
