Enhance Libvirt Compute resource to allow user to change default video card
Description
Currently users do not have the ability to choose a video card outside of the default provided by the fog-libvirt library.
Users currently can change attributes such as:
CPU, memory, firmware, Nework Type, Network, NIC type, & Storage
Another option for "video" is needed. This could be the freeform like "NIC type", which checks which NICs are supported and defaults to what fog-libvirt provides.

Closing this request.
After some research actually "virtio" is the video card you want to use in all cases. Not just Linux. Even with programs like "virt-manager" are actually using "virtio" as the graphics card for creation of Windows 11 based virtual machines. Virtio driver falls back to vga mode for operating systems that do not have native support.
Also the qemu documentation has:
"Unless you are specifically trying to exercise a driver for some particular hardware they are the recommended device models to use for virtual machines."
With recent version of fog-libvirt fixing it so virtio is the default video card this is not needed.
