Eliminate --disable-gfx-check and make VNC default when SDL not available

--disable-gfx-check predates VNC server support. It made sense back then because the only thing you could do without SDL was use -nographic mode or similar tricks. Since this is a very advanced mode of operation, gfx-check provided a good safety net for casual users. A casual user is very likely to use VNC to interact with a guest. In fact, it's often frustrating to install QEMU on a server and have to specify disable-gfx-check when you only want to use VNC. This patch eliminates disable-gfx-check and makes SDL behave like every other optional dependency. If SDL is not available, instead of failing ungracefully if no special options are specified, we default to -vnc localhost:0,to=99. When we do default to VNC, we also print a message to tell the user that we've done this include which port we're currently listening on. Signed-off-by: Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>
