Currently when using VNC the "password" flag turns on password based
authentication. The actual password has to be provided separately via
the monitor.
This introduces a "password-secret" option which lets the password be
provided up front.
$QEMU --object secret,id=vncsec0,file=passwd.txt \
--vnc localhost:0,password-secret=vncsec0
