Reference objects, not their IDs - this way when object is modified, it
is visible everywhere where it is used. Main changes:
- volume.pool - Pool object
- volume.source - Volume object
Since volume have Pool object reference now, move volume related
functions into Volume class (from Pool class). This avoids horrible
`storage.get_pool(volume).something(volume)` construct.
One issue here is since volume.source reference a Volume object from a
different VM - VM's template, now VM load order is important. Since we
don't have control over it, initialize vm.storage when needed - possibly
while initializing storage of different VM. Since we don't have cycles
in AppVM-TemplateVM dependencies, it is safe.
Also, since this commit, volume.source (if defined) always points at
volume of the same name from VM's template. Using volumes with something
else as a source is no longer supported.

- kernel volume shouldn't have snap_on_start, it's read-only volume
anyway
- root volume of AppVM should have placeholder for 'source'
- private volume of AppVM should _not_ have placeholder for 'source'
(it's ignored anyway, because snap_on_start=False)

When VM is renamed only volume.vid get updated, but not other attributes
calculated from it. Convert them to dynamic properties to not worry
about it.

With libvirt in place, this isn't enough - libvirt also keep VM
configuration in its memory and adjusting xenstore doesn't change that.
In fact changing xenstore behind it back make it even worse in some
situations.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#1426
Re-init volume config of all 'snap_on_start' volumes at template
chanage. For this, save original volume config and re-use
config_volume_from_source function introduced in previous commit.
At the same time, forbid changing template of running AppVM or any
DispVM.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2256
vm.kernel property have type 'str'. Putting None there makes a lot of
troubles: it gets encoded as 'None' in qubes.xml and then loaded back as
'None' string, not None value. Also it isn't possible to assign None
value to str property throgh Admin API.
kernel='' is equally good to specify "no kernel from dom0".
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2622
While libvirt handle locking itself, there is also Qubes-specific
startup part. Especially starting qrexec-daemon and waiting until
qrexec-agent connect to it. When someone will attempt to start VM the
second time (or simply assume it's already running) - qrexec will not be
connected yet and the operation will fail. Solve the problem by wrapping
the whole vm.start() function with a lock, including a check if VM is
running and waiting for qrexec.
Also, do not throw exception if VM is already running.
This way, after a call to vm.start(), VM will be started with qrexec
connected - regardless of who really started it.
Note that, it will not solve the situation when someone check if VM is
running manually, like:
if not vm.is_running():
yield from vm.start()
Such code should be changed to simply:
yield from vm.start()

And place them in /qubes-service/ QubesDB directory. This allows
extensions to easily store some data not exposed to VM, but also have
control what VM will see. And at the same time, it make it compatible
with existing services framework
