[virt-tools-list] [PATCH virt-viewer 2/9] spice: calling VirtViewerSession:close() can destroy self

SpiceSession in spice-gtk v0.27 removes channels from session during
disconnect (and not when they are actually disposed). When no channels
are left, session-disconnected is emitted, and the VirtViewerSession
will be unref from the application. Use a weak reference to self to
avoid crashing after calling spice_session_disconnect()

As a workaround for existing clients, spice-gtk v0.27 will defer the
disconnection to idle time.  But the fix still makes sense and would
prevent potentially future issues if spice-gtk changes back to sync
disconnection.

(the alternative of calling ref/unref would keep recreating session,
 which is something it can avoid when leaving the application)
