Clients connecting to untrusted VMs may not want the VM to have access 
to the host filesystem.  Previously they were safe if they did nothing, 
but with this change, they would need to explicitly set shared-dir to 
NULL.  (Which, of course, will cause a warning with previous versions of 
spice-gtk.)
