vnc: disable VNC password authentication (security type 2) when in FIPS mode
FIPS 140-2 requires disabling certain ciphers, including DES, which is used by VNC to obscure passwords when they are sent over the network. The solution for FIPS users is to disable the use of VNC password auth when the host system is operating in FIPS compliance mode and the user has specified '-enable-fips' on the QEMU command line. This patch causes QEMU to emit a message to stderr when the host system is running in FIPS mode and a VNC password was specified on the commend line. If the system is not running in FIPS mode, or is running in FIPS mode but VNC password authentication was not requested, QEMU operates normally.
