qga: Don't require 'time' argument in guest-set-time command

As the description to the guest-set-time states, the command is
there to ease time synchronization after resume. If guest was
suspended for longer period of time, its system time can go off
so badly, that even NTP refuses to set it. That's why the command
was invented: to give users chance to set the time (not
necessarily 100% correct). However, there's is no real need for
us to require users to pass an arbitrary time. Especially if we
can read the correct value from RTC (boiling down to reading
host's time). Hence this commit enables logic:

guest-set-time() == guest-set-time($now_from_rtc)
