Issue Summary
Containers run inside Virtualization.framework-backed VMs had no graphics device, preventing paravirtualized graphics acceleration or graphical output.
Users requested virtio-gpu support to enable accelerated offscreen rendering and optional display scanouts for Linux GUI workloads without spinning up full desktop VMs.
Root Cause
VM configuration never attached a VZVirtioGraphicsDeviceConfiguration.
No API or CLI flags existed to request graphics acceleration or a display scanout.
As a result, VMs launched by the containerization framework were headless-only.
Fix Overview
Add graphics configuration flags to VM and container configs:
Attach VZVirtioGraphicsDeviceConfiguration during VM construction when flags are set.
