This support adds a new way to access the grahical console of any VDI instance and provide it to web clients via Guacamole. In addition to the available standard console access of the integrated RDP server from each VDI instance, the hypervisor's VNC console from OpenStack can now be used as an alternative. The alternative offers the advantage that the graphic output can already be accessed during the boot process of a VDI instance. In addition, this option saves resources, since no extra RDP server has to run in each deployed VDI instance. The new OpenStack VNC console access can be selected via the new configuration option - OS_CONSOLE_SERVER = [ openstack_hypervisor | instance_builtin ] by assigning the value 'openstack_hypervisor'. The prerequisite for activating the OpenStack VNC console access is that an OpenStack-based cloud is set up with the console type 'noVNC'.
