[PATCH RFC 0/1] an extensible SetUIInfo2 design

[Chengyang Zhu <colazcyg@gmail.com>]

Currently, the `SetUIInfo` method cannot set a refresh rate.
Simply adding a refresh_rate argument would break the method signature.

This RFC adds the `SetUIInfo2` method and `QemuUIInfoTypes` property.
  * `SetUIInfo2` takes a dictionary,
    allowing partial updates and adding more keys in the future.
  * `QemuUIInfoTypes` exposes the schema of `SetUIInfo2`'s argument.

This patch is a proof-of-concept and it needs further discussion on:
  * public API design (the name and the signature)
  * partial update behavior (only updating the recognized fields)
  * error handling (ignore the wrong keys or return an error?)

Test results:
  * qemu:qtest-x86_64/dbus-display-test passed
  * qemu:qtest-x86_64/dbus-vmstate-test passed
  * qemu:qtest-x86_64/dbus-vnc-test SKIP
  * manually created a virtual machine
    and successfully set its refresh rate and resolution via `SetUIInfo2`
