This patch adds support for using the monitor interface to set the VNC
password
(qemu) change vnc password
Password: ********
A minor tricky thing is that we can't just send the command and password
all in one go, we must wait for the 'Password' prompt before sending the
password.
When doing this I noticed that virsh dumpxml has no way to request a
secure XML dump (required to see the password element), nor did the
virsh edit command set the SECURE or INACTIVE flags when changing
the XML.

I tried the patch and I've found that define command do not set the
password as the SECURE flag is not set when defining the domain from XML
file. This can be very unpleasant as it effectively disables the
password when redefining the domain. I've tried this simple dirty hotfix

cleanup:
xmlFreeParserCtxt (pctxt);
and it works. However there must be some better way how to do it but I
do not know the libvirt source code good enough to find it.

P.S. I've also found that virt-manager is missing handler for login
button when asking for password but I will send email to virt-manager
mailing list about it.
