The VNC Proxy is an OpenStack component that allows users of Nova to access
their instances through a websocket enabled browser (like Google Chrome).
A VNC Connection works like so:
* User connects over an api and gets a url like http://ip:port/?token=xyz
* User pastes url in browser
* Browser connects to VNC Proxy though a websocket enabled client like noVNC
* VNC Proxy authorizes users token, maps the token to a host and port of an
instance's VNC server
* VNC Proxy initiates connection to VNC server, and continues proxying until
the session ends
