Right now Admin API backend will refuse to shrink volume anyway, but
we're planning to relax this restriction. Make sure the client side
(qvm-volume tool here, GUI VM settings already have this in place) will
employ appropriate safety check.

If needs to be extended - do it before import. If needs to be reduced -
after. This way, if data import fails for any reason, previous data
won't be destroyed (truncated).
Also, convert error on shrinking volume to a warning, as it doesn't break
the template (just leave it with bigger disk than needed). Currently all
storage pool implementations refuse to shrink a volume (but it may
change in the future).

'qvm-run --dispvm' cannot easily make a separate qubes.WaitForSession
call. Instead, if --gui is active, pass the new WaitForSession argument
to qubes.VMShell, which will do the equivalent.
The unit tests have been copied (in slightly adapted form) from commit

When calling a service in DispVM, the connection is established only
after session is ready (if required for given service). qrexec-client by
default use 5s here, which is too low depending on hardware. Use
'qrexec_timeout' property here for DispVM case.

In core-admin matching collections are real dicts, so clone this API
behaviour here too. Specific changes:
- iteration yields keys, not values
- implement values and items methods
Additionally fix keys method, it was broken on python2 (list have no
copy method).
* qubesos/pr/44:
Fix style else-return
tests: update qvm-template-process and qvm-remove tests
Add --force to manpage.
Avoid cloning installed_by_rpm
Print vm list before prompt
Use --force instead of --yes
Toggle installed_by_rpm in template tool
Fix error message grammar
Add --yes option and confirm prompt.
Make use of better security of Qubes 4.x by using HVM by default. If
some VMs are incompatible with it (like MirageOS based), user can always
switch it to PV manually later.
When some VM timeout on shutdown, the tool will try to kill all of them,
but at this point some of them may be already powered off (not all
hanged during shutdown, but only some). Handle this
situation instead of crashing. And add appropriate test.
1. Output of `losetup` command contains `\n` - strip it.
2. Provide read-only option - if device info hasn't propagated to qubesd
yet, it will not be set automatically.

Very few calls at client side really needs VM class name. So, even in
non-blind mode use just QubesVM class, to avoid strange cases depending
on blind mode being enabled or not. Then, have VM class name in 'klass'
property. If known at object creation time, cache it, otherwise query
qubesd at first access.
This allows to perform actions on objects (VM, storage etc), without
listing them. This is useful when calling VM have minimal permissions
and only selected actions are allowed.
This means that app.domains['some-name'] will not raise KeyError, even
when domain do not exists. But performing actual action (like
vm.start()) will fail in that case.
Booting a VM from cdrom require attaching the device before VM startup,
which is possible only in persistent mode. But for qvm-start --cdrom
adding a cdrom only temporarily, use new update_persistence() function
to convert the assignment to temporary one.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#3055
Add option to uniformly start new DispVM from either VM or Dom0. This
use DispVMWrapper, which translate it to either qrexec call to $dispvm,
or (in dom0) to appropriate Admin API call to create fresh DispVM
first.
This require abandoning registering --all and --exclude by
QubesArgumentParser, because we need to add --dispvm mutually exclusive
with those two. But actually handling those two options is still done by
QubesArgumentParser.
This also updates man page and tests.
