I would like to see these style in a documentation.

I think the quickest way is to integrate these notes in spice-server
docs/spice_style.txt and put a simple txt document in spice-streaming-agent
to refer to this. This for various reasons:
- spice-server already "compile" this document in HTML;
- the document is used for https://www.spice-space.org/spice-project-coding-style-and-coding-conventions.html
  page so you'll have the web page for free;
- the style is mainly an extension of the server style, copying all the
  style to the new repository would be a big effort to maintain in sync
  (another option would be to put in the new repository only the additions/
  exception but this won't solve previous points)
