Great thanks!

Fwiw, I've changed it locally to address Eric's comments, but did not
send it as v2 since a discussion was ongoing, here is what it looks in
my local clone now (but I'm fine with either version):

    spice: Disallow use of gl + TCP port

    Currently, virgl support has to go through a local unix socket, trying
    to connect to a VM using -spice gl through spice://localhost:5900 will
    only result in a black screen.
    This commit errors out when the user tries to start a VM with both GL
    support and a port/tls-port set.
    This would fit better in spice-server, but currently QEMU does not call
    into spice-server when parsing 'gl' on its command line, so we have to
    do this check in QEMU instead.
