Both tools issue a large number of Admin API calls and greatly benefit
from a cache filled with a single per-vm Admin API call
(admin.vm.property.GetAll). In case of qvm-ls, this also saves multiple
admin.vm.CurrentState calls (power state is given in the admin.vm.List
response too).
QubesOS/qubes-issues#3293
Power state changes are signaled with events too, so it is possible to
cache it and update/invalidate cache with events.
Additionally, admin.vm.List returns a power state, so the cache can be
populated early. This in particular greatly improves qvm-ls performance -
eliminate admin.vm.CurrentState call at all.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#3293
When caching is enabled, reduce number of calls by getting all the
properties at once. If the call is not available (for example because of
the policy), fallback to getting individual values.

qvm-start-daemon: adjust pacat pid file path
qvm-start-daemon: check if layout is parsed
qvm-start-daemon: allow multiple options in keyboard layout
qvm-start-daemon: improve parsing args for setting keyboard layout
qvm-start-daemon: set keyboard-layout only for the first set layout
gui: set keyboard layout when starting daemon
daemon: start it for dom0 unconditionnaly
qvm-start-daemon: ensure separate task between GUI/AUDIO
qvm-start-daemon: allow starting only if service enabled
Fix and improvements from Marek's comments
Change qvm-start-gui to qvm-start-daemon for handling audio too
Support for AudioVM
Rules will be reset to a single 'accept' line, which is something
that the GUI tools like. It's an easy way to get out of CLI firewall
modifications if someone wants to go back to using GUI for them.

The code assumes that QubesVMInUseError is thrown for a failed
dependency check, but there are also other reasons. We need to
handle the case when dependency list is empty, and also display
the original message.
See also QubesOS/qubes-core-admin#308 for which this was needed.

qvm-shutdown with the --wait option checks if the machine
state is 'Halted', but a disposable VM is usually deleted by
the time of the final check, resulting in a non-zero exit code.
This change handles properly disposable VMs, and makes sure
we always output an error message when finishing with a non-zero
exit code.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#5245.

Add tests for --tree option of qvm-ls
Sort domains in network tree list

added feature to list domains as network tree
If the VM is powered off shortly after startup, it may happen that
qubes.SetMonitorLayout would start it again. Avoid this by using
autostart=False argument to run_service() function.
Note that there is a vm.is_running() check at the beginning of the
function already, but if it happens while the VM is cleaned up, it may
still report that it's running, but at the time of run_service() call it
is not.
This allows to run a service but do not cause a qube to be started it
isn't already running. This is especially useful for background /
internal calls designed to service a running target VM - if VM is not
running, those do not make sense to be called in the first place.
Specifically, this will allow qvm-start-gui to avoid re-starting a
domain while calling qubes.NotifyMonitorLayout, when a VM is shutdown
shortly after its startup.
