addhardware: don't remove QXL if VNC graphics are configured
Commit 1a6e803a introduced a fix for bogus behavior of QXL+VNC where
there was no cursor visible by disabling this configuration in
virt-manager. We should enable it again because this is a supported
configuration and the bug was actually in QEMU.
This is now fixed in qemu-2.6.0 [1] so revert commits 1a6e803a and
67ca0a9f.
Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1326544

I can reproduce this issue with package
virt-manager-1.3.2-1.el7.noarch
Then try to verify with new build:
virt-manager-1.4.0-1.el7.noarch
libvirt-2.0.0-2.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-14.el7.x86_64
libvirt-python-2.0.0-1.el7.x86_64
Steps:
1. Prepare a health guest with
Display: vnc
Video: cirrus
2. Scenario-1 change video model to QXL
2.1 Launch virt-manager, and try to change video to other mode: QXL
# virt-manager
Select virtual machine 'rhel6.8latest'--->Open--->'Show virtual machine details'--->change video model from 'cirrus' to 'qxl'
Result: 'QXL' is displayed in video model and can be selected.
Virtual machine with vnc+qxl can boot up with no error.
3. Scenario-2 add video model QXL
3.1 Shut off guest and restore its configuration to vnc+cirrus.
In 'Show virtual machine details' page, add new Video to virtual machine.
Result: QXL video model is showed and can be add as second video to virtual machine when display is vnc.
Virtual machine with vnc+cirrus+qxl can boot up with no error.
Since QXL is added to video model when display is vnc in virt-manager, move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED.
