Add attribute to set vgamem_mb parameter of QXL device for QEMU. This
value sets the size of VGA framebuffer for QXL device. Default value in
QEMU is 8MB so reuse it also in libvirt to not break things.

The vram attribute was introduced to set the video memory but it is
usable only for few hypervisors excluding QEMU/KVM and the old XEN
driver. Only in case of QEMU the vram was used for QXL.
This patch updates the documentation to reflect current code in libvirt
and also changes the cases when we will set the default vram attribute.
It also fixes existing strange default value for VGA devices 9MB to 16MB
because the video ram should be rounded to power of two.
The change of default value could affect migrations but I found out that
QEMU always round the video ram to power of two internally so it's safe
to change the default value to the next closest power of two and also
silently correct every domain XML definition. And it's also safe because
we don't pass the value to QEMU.

There is no keyboard support currently in libvirt.
For some platforms (PPC64 QEMU) this makes graphics unusable,
since the keyboard is not implicit and it can't be added via libvirt.

Add a new backend for any character device. This backend uses channel
in spice connection. This channel is similar to spicevmc, but
all-purpose in contrast to spicevmc.
Apart from spicevmc, spiceport-backed chardev will not be formatted
into the command-line if there is no spice to use (with test for that
as well). For this I moved the def->graphics counting to the start
of the function so its results can be used in rest of the code even in
the future.
