Hi all!

v3: - instead of creating new qmp command add an argument to existing

     - also don't touch websockets for now. I'm not sure we need it.
       Additional argument for changing websockets may be added later on

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":

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