add VNC support to run_archiso.sh
Usage: Launch run_archiso.sh -v ..., and then use a VNC viewer
(e.g. from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/List_of_applications/Internet#Remote_desktop)
to connect (typically to `localhost`) on the default VNC port (5900).
This enables using run_archiso in a "headless" session; e.g. when SSH logged in
to the CLI of a VM, without a local display attached. This is handy e.g. when
playing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inception and running an archlinux*.iso
on any non-Arch (say Fedora workstation), on which one built a new ISO, that you
then "run_archiso", inside which you could build another ISO, which you could
itself start inside the nested VM... ;-)
Jokes apart, this could also be used to run automated CI/CD tests of the built ISO,
which is particularly interesting in combination with the cloud-init support;
see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cloud-init.
