82dfc6f38e qemu: Support vram for video of qxl type
For qemu names the primary vga as "qxl-vga":

  1) if vram is specified for 2nd qxl device:

    -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=$SIZE \
    -device qxl,id=video1,vram_size=$SIZE,...

  2) if vram is not specified for 2nd qxl device, (use the default
     set by global):

    -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=$SIZE \
    -device qxl,id=video1,...

For qemu names all qxl devices as "qxl":

  1) if vram is specified for 2nd qxl device:

    -vga qxl -global qxl.vram_size=$SIZE \
    -device qxl,id=video1,vram_size=$SIZE ...

  2) if vram is not specified for 2nd qxl device:

    -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.vram_size=$SIZE \
    -device qxl,id=video1,...

"-global" is the only way to define vram_size for the primary qxl
device, regardless of how qemu names it, (It's not good a good
way, as original idea of "-global" is to set a global default for
a driver property, but to specify vram for first qxl device, we
have to use it).

For other qxl devices, as they are represented by "-device", could
specify it directly and seperately for each, and it overrides the
default set by "-global" if specified.

v1 - v2:
  * modify "virDomainVideoDefaultRAM" so that it returns 16M as the
    default vram_size for qxl device.

  * vram_size * 1024 (qemu accepts bytes for vram_size).

  * apply default vram_size for qxl device for which vram_size is
    not specified.

  * modify "graphics-spice" tests (more sensiable vram_size)

  * Add an argument of virDomainDefPtr type for qemuBuildVideoDevStr,
    to use virDomainVideoDefaultRAM in qemuBuildVideoDevStr).

v2 - v3:
  * Modify default video memory size for qxl device from 16M to 24M

  * Update codes to be consistent with changes on qemu_capabilities.*
