commit 52c18be9e9 introduced a regression in the
change vnc password command that changed the behavior of setting the VNC
password to an empty string from disabling login to disabling authentication.
This commit refactors the code to eliminate this overloaded semantics in
vnc_display_password and instead introduces the vnc_display_disable_login. The
monitor implementation then determines the behavior of an empty or missing
string.
Recently, a set_password command was added that allows both the Spice and VNC
password to be set. This command has not shown up in a release yet so the
behavior is not yet defined.
This patch proposes that an empty password be treated as an empty password with
no special handling. For specifically disabling login, I believe a new command
should be introduced instead of overloading semantics.
I'm not sure how Spice handles this but I would recommend that we have Spice
and VNC have consistent semantics here for the 0.14.0 release.

v1 -> v2
- Add a proper return to make sure that login is really disabled instead of
relying on the VNC server to treat empty passwords specially
