ui: add qapi parser for -display

Add parse_display_qapi() function which parses the -display command line
using a qapi visitor for DisplayOptions.  Wire up as default catch in
parse_display().

Improves the error message for unknown display types.

Also enables json as -display argument, i.e. -display "{ 'type': 'gtk' }"
