[Libguestfs] [virt-v2v wave 2 PATCH v1 05/16] convert_linux: flip target display to Standard_VGA

Policy change: pick Standard_VGA over QXL for the video type in the output (Linux) domain, always. For Standard_VGA, use the "modesetting" X.org driver. (In a Fedora 34 guest using standard VGA video, and having no explicit X.org config file, the X.org server logs the following (excerpt): This tells us that the standard VGA device model is driven by the "modesetting" driver.)
