Re-enable SPICE support on Ubuntu Noble.

Browse Source 
The move to Ubuntu Noble for Kolla 2025.1 onwards accidentally broke SPICE
consoles for Nova (both Horizon and spice-direct). This is because Debian
and Ubuntu now package the SPICE support in a separate package. Without
this package, an attempt to start an instance in Nova requiring SPICE will
result in messages like this in the nova-libvirt logs:

    libvirt.libvirtError: unsupported configuration: spice graphics are
    not supported with this QEMU

And the instance will enter an error state.

The fix is to install the `qemu-system-modules-spice` package as well in
the nova-libvirt image.

Ubuntu Noble container images require the additional
qemu-system-modules-spice operating system package for SPICE consoles
to function correctly. This package has therefore been added
to the nova-libvirt container build. Further details are available in
the bug report at `LP#2138186 <https://launchpad.net/bugs/2138186>`__.
