TBH, I don't get this URI-styled remote display definitions because I
don't know what program can use those (universally, not just from
libvirt, I mean, and I haven't heard about krdc until now) and if there
is a recommended scheme for that, however this is how the parameter is
appended for spice connections and unless there is a scheme for that and
we can say "The previous version was a bug, this is how it should be", I
don't think we want rick breaking something.  OTOH this is just a virsh
call, not an API.
