spice: server: Being more permissive in video identification #575576 (related to #493375)spice-server-0.4.2-6.el6

In 'filter' video streaming mode, use a more permissive threshold for distinguishing
'realistic' streams from 'textaul'/'artificial' streams. The previous threshold classified
streams that were scaled on the guest as artificial and thus they were not recoginized as videos.
