This patch adds a new console type, "spice-direct", which provides
the connection information required to talk the native SPICE protocol
directly to qemu on the hypervisor. This is intended to be fronted
by a proxy which will handle authentication separately.
A new microversion is introduced which adds the type "spice-direct"
to the existing "spice" protocol.
An example request:
POST /servers/<uuid>/remote-consoles
{
 "remote_console": {
 "protocol": "spice",
 "type": "spice-direct"
 }
}
An example response:
{
 "remote_console": {
 "protocol": "spice",
 "type": "spice-direct",
 "url": "http://localhost:13200/nova?token=XXX";
 }
}
This token can then be used to lookup connection details for the
console using a request like this:
GET /os-console-auth-tokens/<consoletoken>
Which returns something like this:
{
 "console": {
 "instance_uuid": <uuid>,
 "host": <hypervisor>,
 "port": <a TCP port number>,
 "tls_port": <another TCP port number>,
 "internal_access_path": null
 }
}
