OpenStack Compute (nova)

nova supports spice compression algorithm configuration

Registered by huang.huayong

nova supports spice console，the spice has some compression algorithm configuration，such as:
image compression:auto_glz|auto_lz|quic|glz|lz|off
jpeg compression:auto|never|always
zlib compression:auto|never|always
Now, the nova.conf can not config the spice compression algorithm. I think we could add these in the nova.conf to support compression algorithm for vm spice console.
