This commit allows for a user configurable VNC bind IP to be used for
QEMU.
By default this will be 127.0.0.1, alternatively, a user can use
0.0.0.0 which will bind to all interfaces.
This pull request should satisfy concerns of #3570 and #3559. It is
also in-line with the functionality provided by #3566 and #3565

When debugging a build (or maintaining an existing packer template), teach `packer build -debug` how to step through individual `boot_command`s in order to triage the packer template.

recommends to dd zero file and deletes it, but in case of enabling
discards and qcow2 image we can recreate qcow2 file with less used
space.
Also qemu-img able to enable compression for qcow2 files, that
sometimes may be useful because it natively supported by qemu.

The ISO builders (parallels, qemu, virtualbox, and vmware) had too
much common code which needed to be maintained separately. This change
moves that code to a common ISO configuration.
I exposed TargetPath as a config file option "target_path". I don't like
the name, but it follows the naming convention. The purpose of TargetPath
stands unmodified, and it enables a fair amount of customization.
Enabling discards for disk can greatly minimize disk size then user
inside vm use fstrim command or trim/discard unneded blocks.

Once we have produced a qemu VM, we now have the option of using
the vagrant post-processor to create a .box file that can be used with
the vagrant-libvirt plugin.
This uses the new State method of the Artifact API to get necessary
information from the builder.

* Using 'tcg' as accelerator for qemu-system allows packer to run in a
virtual machine as no kvm or xen support is needed.
* Also document the default behavior if no accelerator is given in the
documentation.
