Code looks good, but I'd like the UI to be a bit different. Rather than

Password: <text field>
Allow Empty Password: <chkbox>

Do:

Password: <chkbox> <text field>

For graphics devices without a password, the chkbox will be unchecked and the
text field inactive/grayed out. If the user wants an empty password, just
select the chkbox but don't enter any text, and hit apply. If the user wants
to remove any existing password, just unselect the chkbox, and hit apply.

I think this will be an improvement over the UI in virt-manager.git while
enabling the empty password usecase.

Also, please make a similar change to addhardware->graphics.

Thanks,
Cole
