ui/vdagent: core infrastructure
The vdagent protocol allows the guest agent (spice-vdagent) and the spice client exchange messages to implement features which require guest cooperation, for example clipboard support. This is a qemu implementation of the spice client side. This allows the spice guest agent talk to qemu directly when not using the spice protocol. usage: qemu \ -chardev qemu-vdagent,id=vdagent \ -device virtserialport,chardev=vdagent,name=com.redhat.spice.0 This patch adds just the protocol basics: initial handshake and capability negotiation. The following patches will add actual functionality and also add fields to the initially empty ChardevVDAgent qapi struct.
