VNC server is calling sasl_server_init() during startup of QEMU, even if SASL auth has not been enabled.
This may create undesirable warnings like "Could not find keytab file: /etc/qemu/krb5.tab" when the user didn't configure SASL on host and started VNC server. Instead, only initialize SASL when needed. Note that HMP/QMP "change vnc" calls vnc_display_open() again, which will initialize SASL if needed. Fix assignment in if condition, while touching this code.
