Subject: [PATCH] fix(quickemu): disable GL when display backend is none

- Disable GL context creation when no display backend is selected by
setting gl="off"
- Keep spice behaviour unchanged (DISPLAY_RENDER remains "none")
- Prevent GL-related errors and unnecessary GPU initialisation for
headless VMs
