This patch set adds the Virt-Viewer launcher backend to
Kimchi.

This feature consists of a new resource located in:

 **URI:** /plugins/kimchi/vms/*:name*/snapshots/current

that retrieves a download link to a .vv file to be
used by a Virt-Viewer compatible desktop app  to connect
to the remote virtual machine.

This backend takes cares of handling firewall rules to
allow the connection to be succesfull. Note that no firewall
port will be opened unless a download is made - if the user
decides to use noVNC or spice-html5 instead Kimchi will
not touch the host firewall.


Example:

[danielhb at arthas kimchi]$ curl -u root -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" -X GET "http://localhost:8010/plugins/kimchi/vms/OpenSUSE-Leap-42.1/virtviewerfile"
Enter host password for user 'root':
[virt-viewer]
type=vnc
host=localhost
port=5904


After this call, port 5904 was opened in the host to allow for a
virt-viewer connection.

When shutting down the virtual machine or WoK, a cleanup is made
to close any ports left opened.
