I only increased the protocol requirement, not the server.

This is actually not related to the SERVER_VERSION below, it's needed
for the new io code QXL_IO_MONITORS_CONFIG_ASYNC. I would like to
propose we add spice-protocol as a submodule to fix this dependency,
since it's a small module containing headers, so even if it isn't used
it shouldn't place a large burden on qemu developers.

Meanwhile I'll add a define based on the pkg-config spice-protocol
version, which I can test from hw/qxl.c, since the commit adding
QXL_IO_MONITORS_CONFIG_ASYNC didn't introduce any new define I can
check.
