In some circumstances, when one display is in fullscreen but others are not, the
display regions can sometimes overlap (rhbz #1002156). There are other cases
where the auto-align code lines up monitors in the wrong order because they are
moved after they've been resized. In general, the root cause for all of these
problems is that the SpiceMainChannel object doesn't know the exact size and
position of all displays at the time when it is aligning monitors and sending
down a new configuration. To solve this issue, introduce a new signal
('monitors-config-requested') that is emitted by the main channel immediately
before it sends down a new configuration. Displays can listen to this signal
and then update their current state within the signal handler so that the main
channel has up-to-date information to use for configuring the monitors.

Note that this is a (partial) alternative proposal since my earlier workaround
(https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2013-October/msg00010.html) was
rejected. A full fix will also require a small patch to virt-viewer.
