[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Accept password as an argument to 'change vnc password'

[Chris Webb <chris@arachsys.com>]

Accept password as an argument to 'change vnc password' monitor command

This allows easier use of the change vnc password monitor command from
management scripts, without having to implement expect(1)-like behaviour.
