libvirt: Add configuration options to set SPICE compression settings
This patch adds the following SPICE-related options to the 'spice' configuration group of a Nova configuration: - image_compression - jpeg_compression - zlib_compression - playback_compression - streaming_mode These configuration options can be used to enable and set the SPICE compression settings for libvirt (QEMU/KVM) provisioned instances. Each configuration option is optional and can be set explictly to configure the associated SPICE compression setting for libvirt. If all configuration options are not set, then none of the SPICE compression settings will be configured for libvirt, which corresponds to the behavior before this change. In this case, the built-in defaults from the libvirt backend (e.g. QEMU) are used. Note that those options are only taken into account if SPICE support is enabled (and the VNC support is disabled).
