The most important part is fixing resize handling - call size_func
before data_func, but after tar gets initial data (and output file
size).
But other than that, it makes the process a little faster.

Opt for a simple one-liner error messages, instead of meaningless stack
trace (it's most of the time about qubesd responding with error, so the
stack trace of actual problem is elsewhere).
This will be less realistic (private.img of 2MB?!), but makes tests much
quicker. And since tar is used to make files sparse, we don't really
test multi-part archives anyway.
Based on "backup compatibility" tests, which manually assemble the
backup. This is because we don't have access to actual backup creation
code here.

Launch stdin copy loop in a separate process (multiprocessing.Process)
and terminate it when target process is terminated.
Another idea here was threads, but there is no API to kill a thread
waiting on read().
VMs can have runtime dependencies - for example it isn't possible to
shutdown netvm used by some other running VM(s). Since client-side tools
may not have full knowledge about rules enforcing those dependencies
(for example may not have access to 'netvm' property), implement
best-effort approach:
1. Try to shutdown all requested VMs
2. For those where shutdown request succeed, wait for actual shutdown
3. For others - go back to step 1
And loop until all VMs are shutdown, or all shutdown requests fails.
Allow programming different responses for the same request when called
multiple times. This is useful for example for shutdown tests - first
domain is running, but after issuing shutdown request is is not.
Do not close event loop in utility function - handle it only in main().
For this reason, change appropriate functions to coroutines.

Don't fail the whole process when "just" appmenus import fails.
But if data import fails, remove the VM
Also update for vm.run_service_for_stdio raising CalledProcessError.
Don't start GUI daemon for given VM twice when qvm-start-gui was started
during VM startup (while waiting for qrexec startup). This is especially
common while running tests.
Report failed qubes.SetMonitorLayout as warning (instead of unhandled
exception).
Clear VM cache on qubesd reconnect.
Fix logging.
qubesd may be restarted during different stages of connection - either
while attempting to connect, or while already listening on events.
Adjust exception list accordingly.
This is especially important for qvm-start-gui - otherwise it crashes on
qubesd restart.
This way we don't need separate admin.vm.Clone call, which is tricky to
handler properly with policy.
A VM may not have access to all the properties and other metadata, so
add ignore_errors argument, for best-effort approach (copy what is
possible). In any case, failure of cloning VM data fails the whole
operation.
When operation fails, VM is removed.
While at it, allow to specify alternative VM class - this allows
morphing one VM into another (for example AppVM -> StandaloneVM).
Adjust qvm-clone tool and tests accordingly.
