[libvirt PATCH 1/3] conf: add support for VNC power control setting
The <graphics type="vnc" .... powerControl="on"/> option
instructs the
VNC server to enable an extension that lets the client perform a
graceful shutdown, reboot and hard reset.
This is enabled by default since it cannot be assumed that the VNC
client user has administrator rights over the guest OS. In the case
where the VNC user is a guest administrator though, it is reasonable
to allow direct power control host side too.

Although VNC doesn't support OpenGL natively, it can be paired with
graphics type ``egl-headless`` (see below) which will instruct QEMU to
open and use drm nodes for OpenGL rendering.
