doc: import man pages Most of them are moved from core-admin repository, even if tool is not implemented yet. Some are generated using skel-manpage.py script. This way we have complete man pages list, and sphinx will properly warn/error about inconsistencies.

.. program:: qvm-clone
:program:`qvm-clone` -- Clones an existing VM by copying all its disk files
===========================================================================
.. warning::
This page was autogenerated from command-line parser. It shouldn't be 1:1
conversion, because it would add little value. Please revise it and add
more descriptive help, which normally won't fit in standard ``--help``
option.
After rewrite, please remove this admonition.
Synopsis
--------
Implement VM clone as create + copy data+metadata This way we don't need separate admin.vm.Clone call, which is tricky to handler properly with policy. A VM may not have access to all the properties and other metadata, so add ignore_errors argument, for best-effort approach (copy what is possible). In any case, failure of cloning VM data fails the whole operation. When operation fails, VM is removed. While at it, allow to specify alternative VM class - this allows morphing one VM into another (for example AppVM -> StandaloneVM). Adjust qvm-clone tool and tests accordingly. QubesOS/qubes-issues#2622

.. option:: --class=CLASS, -C CLASS
Create VM of different class than source VM. The tool will try to copy as
much as possible data/metadata from source VM, but some information may be
impossible to preserve (for example target VM have no matching properties).
