qubes.VMShell service, used by qvm-run, expects the command on the first
input line. Previously, when --localcmd was used, the command wasn't
written anywhere and the local command was connected directly to
qubes.VMShell service. And the first line of its output was interpreted
as a command.
Fix this by starting the local command separately, after sending the
command to qubes.VMShell service.
While at it, unify handling shell command and service calls in the process.
vm.run_service(..., localcmd= ) isn't that useful in general case,
because for qubes.VMShell the caller first need to send the command
before starting local process. Since the qvm-run tool needs to implement
manual starting localcmd anyway, don't use localcmd= run_service's
argument at all to unify calling methods.
There is slight behavior change: previously localcmd was started only
after establishing service connection (for example only if qrexec policy
allows), now it is started in all the cases.

Add note in QubesBase docstring it shouldn't be used directly.
Additionally add base qubesd_call and run_service methods raising
NotImplementedError with helpful message. Lack of qubesd_call in
QubesBase leads to infinite recursion, because one in PropertyHolder
calls itself then.

The qubesd daemon have no information about clone source - from that
side it looks like a new VM. This means application menu is created as
for a new VM.
To fix this re-initialize menu with --source option as part of the clone
operation. It will copy both list of available applications (if
applicable) and selected applications.
This fixes both qvm-clone case and rename.

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.

On python 3.4, python-daemon installation fails without it already
installed (missing dependency declaration?) and requirements.txt doesn't
allow to specify installation order.

Name change of vm dependencies helper function
Added tests and minor correction to vm_usage helper function
Helper function that lists where a given VM is used
