+ qemu: Introduce a new video model of type 'none'

How about:
Introduce a new video model type that disables the automatic addition of
a video device to domains with 'graphics' specified in their XML.
This can be useful with GPU mediated devices which can serve as the only
rendering devices within the guest.
