pmb.qemu: drop spice support (!1886)

Browse source 
The SPICE UI option tends to be broken (see #1836), and even when it is
working, it is not working particularly well. QXL requires special handling
in our QEMU packages, when now virtio-gpu (virgl) is working quite well overall.

Apparently it is possible to use virgl with SPICE; but only when using
a Unix socket instead of a TCP port. That again is a bit complicated
because we run QEMU outside the chroot and the SPICE client within.

Overall it does no longer seem to be worth the effort.
The default QEMU UI is working just fine (for the purposes of testing
postmarketOS at least).
