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.

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.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#3422
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.

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.
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.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#3012
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.
