Here's one of the existing tests:
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-graphics-spice.xml

   <graphics type='spice' port='5903' tlsPort='5904' autoport='no'
listen='127.0.0.1'>
      <listen type='address' address='127.0.0.1'/>
      <channel name='main' mode='secure'/>
      <channel name='inputs' mode='insecure'/>

I'm wondering if rather than adding a new <channel name='default'
mode='.../'>, it might make more sense to hoist the default channel
security mode up one element.  Something like:

<graphics type='spice' default_mode='secure' ...>
  <channel name='main' mode='secure'/> <!-- redundant -->
  <channel name='inputs' mode='insecure'/> <!-- override default -->
  <channel name='usbredir'/> <!-- defaults to secure due to <graphics> -->

While it is obvious that usbredir must be a valid channel name, it's not
as obvious about 'default' being a channel name (since it is really more
of the catchall for all other channels not explicitly listed).
