This fixes a long standing limitation of the VNC/SPICE code which was
unable to securely accept passswords on the CLI, instead requiring use
of separate monitor commands after startup.

This takes the opportunity to also remove previously deprecated ACL
functionality from VNC.

Daniel P. Berrangé (4):
  ui: introduce "password-secret" option for VNC servers
  ui: introduce "password-secret" option for SPICE server
  ui: deprecate "password" option for SPICE server
  ui, monitor: remove deprecated VNC ACL option and HMP commands
