[fedora-virt] virt-manager with spice support

[Avi Alkalay]

Thanks Cole. On Fedora, it worked with '--enablerepo=updates-testing' but
apparently there is a bug on libvirt where it fails to transform a Spice
configuration entry from the XML file into a correct '-spice' qemu command
line argument.

On the XML, libvirt/virt-manager generates:

<graphics type='spice' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'/>

But VM fails to boot with this error:

qemu-kvm: -spice port=5901,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing: Invalid
parameter 'addr'
parse error: port=5901,addr=127.0.0.1,disable-ticketing

So 'addr' is invalid for qemu -spice and the man page doesn't say much about
it.

Any hint? My software levels:
