ui: fix setup of VNC websockets auth scheme with TLS
The way the websockets TLS code was integrated into the VNC server made it essentially useless. The only time that the websockets TLS support could be used is if the primary VNC server had its existing TLS support disabled. ie QEMU had to be launched with: # qemu -vnc localhost:1,websockets=5902,x509=/path/to/certs Note the absence of the 'tls' flag. This is already a bug, because the docs indicate that 'x509' is ignored unless 'tls' is given. If the primary VNC server had TLS turned on via the 'tls' flag, then this prevented the websockets TLS support from being used, because it activates the VeNCrypt auth which would have resulted in TLS being run over a TLS session. Of course no websockets VNC client supported VeNCrypt so in practice, since the browser clients cannot setup a nested TLS session over the main HTTPS connection, so it would not even get past auth. This patch causes us to decide our auth scheme separately for the main VNC server vs the websockets VNC server. We take account of the fact that if TLS is enabled, then the websockets client will use https, so setting up VeNCrypt is thus redundant as it would lead to nested TLS sessions.
