Title:
  Enable password support for vnc session

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  qemu supports that password based authentication is used for client connections by adding password option for -vnc as below [1]. 
  -vnc 0.0.0.0:1,password -k en-us 
  qemu xml configuration file provides a VNC password in clear text. 
  <graphics type='vnc' port='-1' autoport='yes' listen='192.168.1.5' passwd='YOUR-PASSWORD-HERE' keymap='en-us'/> 

  but openstack doesn't support to configure vpn password, see the following codes: 
  if ((CONF.vnc_enabled and 
  virt_type not in ('lxc', 'uml'))): 
  graphics = vconfig.LibvirtConfigGuestGraphics() 
  graphics.type = "vnc" 
  graphics.keymap = CONF.vnc_keymap 
  graphics.listen = CONF.vncserver_listen 
  guest.add_device(graphics) 
  add_video_driver = True
