Allow specific pool implementation to provide asynchronous
implementation. vm.storage.* methods will detect if given implementation
is synchronous or asynchronous and will act accordingly.
Then it's up to pool implementation how asynchronous should be achieved.
Do not force it using threads (`run_in_executor()`). But pool
implementation is free to use threads, if consider it safe in a
particular case.
This commit does not touch any pool implementation - all of them are
still synchronous.

This allows avoid race condition between registering event handlers and
performing some action. The important thing is the event sent after
registering event handlers in qubesd. This means state changes (like
VM start/stop) after 'connection-established' event will be included in
event stream.

qvm-ls tool (as all other tools) will be accessing properties through
API, so no need (nor sense) for this tool-specific attributes in
qubes.property. The only somehow used was ls_width, and in fact it made
the output unnecessary wide.
The tool itself is already moved to core-mgmt-client repository.

This also means we don't check if a VM with given name (in case of
VMProperty) exists in the system, at this stage. But this is ok, lets
not duplicate work of property setter.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2622
If kwargs contains dict as one of values, it isn't hashable and can't be
used as value in frozenset/tuple. Convert such values into
frozenset(dict.items()). Only one (more) level is supported, but it
should be enough.
Solution from http://stackoverflow.com/a/13264725
Use the right cow image and apply the second layer to provide read-write
access. The correct setup is:
- base image + base cow -> read-only snapshot (base changes "cached"
until committed)
- read-only snapshot + VM cow -> read-write snapshot (changes discarded
after VM shutdown)
This way, even VM without Qubes-specific startup scripts will can
benefit from Template VMs, while VMs with Qubes-specific startup scripts
may still see original root.img content (for possible signature
verification, when storage domain got implemented).

tar can't write archive with _contents_ of block device. We need this to
backup LVM-based disk images. To avoid dumping image to a file first,
create a simple tar archiver just for this purpose.
Python is not the fastest possible technology, it's 3 times slower than
equivalent written in C. But it's much easier to read, much less
error-prone, and still process 1GB image under 1s (CPU time, leaving
along actual disk reads). So, it's acceptable.
To ease all this, rework restore workflow: first create QubesVM objects,
and all their files (as for fresh VM), then override them with data
from backup - possibly redirecting some files to new location. This
allows generic code to create LVM volumes and then only restore its
content.
First part - handling firewall.xml and rules formatting.
Specification on https://qubes-os.org/doc/vm-interface/
TODO (for dom0):
- plug into QubesVM object
- expose rules in QubesDB (including reloading)
- drop old functions (vm.get_firewall_conf etc)

* core3-devices:
Fix core2migration and tests for new devices API
tests: more qubes.devices tests
qubes/ext/pci: implement pci-no-strict-reset/BDF feature
qubes/tools: allow calling qvm-device as qvm-devclass (like qvm-pci)
qubes: make pylint happy
qubes/tools: add qvm-device tool (and tests)
tests: load qubes.tests.tools.qvm_ls
tests: PCI devices tests
tests: add context manager to catch stdout
qubes/ext/pci: move PCI devices handling to an extension
qubes/devices: use more detailed exceptions than just KeyError
qubes/devices: allow non-persistent attach
qubes/storage: misc fixes for VM-exposed block devices handling
qubes: new devices API
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#2257
Instead of old per-VM flag 'pci_strictreset', now implement this as
per-device flag using features. To not fail on particular device
assignment set 'pci-no-strict-reset/DEVICE-BDF' to True. For
example 'pci-no-strict-reset/00:1b.0'.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2257
Implement required event handlers according to documentation in
qubes.devices.
A modification of qubes.devices.DeviceInfo is needed to allow dynamic,
read-only properties.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2257
Allow device plugin to list attached and available devices. Enforce
at API level every device being exposed by some domain.
This commit only changes devices API, but not update existing users
(pci) yet.

Some tests do not apply, as there is no savefile and attributes
propagation is much simpler. Dropped tests:
- test_000_firewall_propagation
- test_001_firewall_propagation
- test_000_prepare_dvm
