[PATCH 4/4] fragments/qemu: add support for enabling sdl in qemu

From: Alexander Kanavin <[email protected]>

This has been the default in poky's local.conf template for
a long time, but it's not enabled directly in poky distro.
To allow better sstate reuse and a better user experience
on a typical laptop (qemu will pop up a graphical window directly),
let's add this fragment and enable it in official bitbake-setup
configurations.
