I'm not familiar enough with the VNC code to suggest how to best
implement this.

One thing to think about is that Websockets is a transport.  Perhaps the
VNC code itself shouldn't speak it, instead generic QEMU socket code
should implement Websockets so that non-VNC components can also make use
of it in the future.
