Bug Description
RDP has significantly improved privacy and performance compared to VNC.
I am struggling to find any use cases where GNOME's VNC should be preferred to RDP.

There is value in only providing a single remote desktop method by default that works well.

Therefore, I think we should drop the VNC feature for Ubuntu 22.10.
Otherwise, we need to:
1. enable VNC in gnome-remote-
2. Update the VNC patch in gnome-control-
