By definition StandaloneVM is not linked to the template. Creating one
from a template is a clone operation. It's already possible using
qvm-clone tool, but it's logical to do that using qvm-create tool too.
This was the case in R3.2 too.
While adding this special case, skip cloning private volume, to preserve
behaviour of TemplateBaseVMs which do not inherit private volume either.

* devices-api:
devices: include devclass when comparing devices
events: deserialize DeviceInfo class in device-* events
devices: drop DeviceInfo.options
Since now event listener reports proper QubesDaemonCommunicationError
exception instead of some form of IOError. Include it for automatic
reconnect logic.
Fixes a481490 "app: fix error reporting when connection to qubesd fails"
Port 5a39e777089d8bde6d0a620830a898c1cf3dd924 ("events: add support for
wildcard event handlers") from qubes-core-admin:
Support registering handlers for more flexible wildcard events: not only
'*', but also 'something*'. This allows to register handlers for
'property-set:*' and such.
If file to be imported is larger than the default root volume, resize
the volume first. It might be also a good idea to shrink it when needed,
but currently the backend refuse it.

When both threads and processes are used, logging module can deadlock.
Workaround this by re-initializating locks in logging module.
See https://bugs.python.org/issue6721 for details.
Revert this commit when the python issue is fixed (in the python version
used for backup restore).
* windows-tools:
doc: add info what properties are inherited from template
Add 'gui-emulated' feature
qvm-start-gui: fix handlign rpc-clipboard feature
Add an explicit method for forcing emulated VGA output. Previously it
was possible only by removing `gui` feature (setting it to false had a
different effect), or enabling debug mode.
Using lack of a feature as a third state was a bad idea.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#3585
Do not crash if qubesd restart exactly the moment event handler was
called.
Event listener properly handle qubesd restarts (reconnects), but exists
if any handler raise an exception. Avoid this by logging such exceptions
but not propagating them.
This is especially the case for domain-shutdown event for DispVM - when
handled, DispVM can be already removed. Give the handled VM object even
if actual VM is already removed. For this, avoid VM existence check by
using domains.get_blind() method.
And actually implement domains.get_blind() method - it was present only
in generic collection, but not VMCollection.
This changes to accept the string none as the value None,
as if an empty string was entered. This allows setting the
netvm to "None" as described in QubesOS/qubes-issues#3942
There was such option on Qubes 3.2, so add it here too. This is
especially useful for kernel package - preun script use it to verify if
given kernel isn't needed anymore.
* improved-tools-messages:
tools: suppress full traceback in console tools
tools: add SubParsersHelpAction, which include subcommands details in --help
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.
