-move virtio-serial use from vdservice to vdagent
-remove named pipe between vdservice & vdagent

pros:
-make agent independent so it can run seperately without service
 (e.g. single user, testing)
-simplify service to just a launcher of agents
-performance - data is currently copied on pipe read/write
-separation between user sessions, no communication with service
-easier to debug

cons:
-when switching between users client will switch to server mode for a
few ms

hmm, we can add another separate virtio device just for the purpose of saying "guest is agent aware", and have that opened (and nothing written to it) by the service. com.redhat.spice.alive
not sure it worth that. the switch is quite negligible.
