libvirt-machine: Offer option to disable 3D acceleration

Felipe Borges requested to merge allow-to-disable-accel3d-notification-3-32 into gnome-3-32

Unfortunately not all the hosts support 3D acceleration with the current machinery we provide. Therefore VMs can become unusable by enabling 3D acceleration.

We throw a notification for OSes that support 3D acceleration offering the user to DISABLE it manually in case they want. If the notification is dismissed, we assume the user is not having any problems and therefore we don't show the notification ever again.

A workaround in order to bring the notification back is to edit the broker source file (usually $HOME/.config/gnome-boxes/sources/ QEMU\ Session) and change the "tweaked-accel3d" key from "true" to "false".

Same as !133 (merged) but against gnome-3-32
