I checked what --enable-vte actually does in combination with the gtk
UI in qemu, and it makes the serial console tab in the gtk ui behave
like a real gnome-terminal tab (selection, scrolling etc). In the
absence of vte support, the serial console tab is still there and you
can still log in and issue commands, but it is more "dumb" regarding
terminal capabilities. This serial console is an addition to the main
tab where the output from the virtual graphical card goes.

So to conclude: we can split the vte option into its own
PACKAGECONFIG, and leave it disabled for native. I would rather do
this, than make vte and vte-native versions diverge.
