I originally did that because we only had "vncdisplay" with no way to
query SPICE info via virsh. So to generically support all graphics
protocols I added "domdisplay" which provides "hostname:port" like
vncdisplay so I needed a way to tell you of the protocol. I figured
generic URI RFC style for VNC would be ok since we follow SPICE's URI
spec and RDP's URI spec so why special case VNC to not make it a URI.
