[PATCH v3 0/3] qapi/ui: change vnc addresses

Hi all!

v3: - instead of creating new qmp command add an argument to existing
      display-reload
    - also don't touch websockets for now. I'm not sure we need it.
      Additional argument for changing websockets may be added later on
      demand

Recently our customer requested a possibility to change VNC listen port
dynamically.

Happily in Rhel7-based Qemu we already have this possibility: through
deprecated "change" qmp command.

But since 6.0 "change" qmp command was removed, with recommendation to
use change-vnc-password or blockdev-change-medium instead. Of course,
neither of them allow change VNC listen port.

So, let's reimplement the possibility.

Note: now, reconnecting may trigger existing deadlock, as I described
in my message "Re: [PULL 09/11] ui/vnc: clipboard support":
 <973ddebe-14a9-4ba7-c389-7a97d6017237@virtuozzo.com>

Simple hack helps, but I'm not sure it's safe itself:
