Libvirt SPICE direct consoles
This specification proposes modifications to Nova's libvirt driver to support "direct" SPICE VDI consoles. These consoles are "direct" in that they are not intended to use a HTML5 transcoding proxy to access, and instead the user would use a native SPICE client like `remote-viewer`.
