There may be cases when VM providing the network to other VMs is started
later - for example VM restart. While this is rare case (and currently
broken because of QubesOS/qubes-issues#1426), do not assume it will
always be the case.
Add property for IPv6 address ('ip6'). Build default value similarly to
IPv4 - common prefix + QID or Disp ID (for DispVMs).
This all is disabled unless 'ipv6' feature is enabled. It is inherited
from netvm (not template).
Even when enabled, VM may decide to not use it - or simply not support
it.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#718
Having both default_netvm and default_fw_netvm cause a lot of confusion,
because it isn't clear for the user which one is used when. Additionally
changing provides_network property may also change netvm property, which
may be unintended effect. This as a whole make it hard to:
- cover all netvm-changing actions with policy for Admin API
- cover all netvm-changing events (for example to apply the change to
the running VM, or to check for netvm loops)
As suggested by @qubesuser, kill the default_fw_netvm property and
simplify the logic around it.
Since we're past rc1, implement also migration logic. And add tests for
said migration.

There were many cases were the check was missing:
- changing default_netvm
- resetting netvm to default value
- loading already broken qubes.xml
Since it was possible to create broken qubes.xml using legal calls, do
not reject loading such file, instead break the loop(s) by setting netvm
to None when loop is detected. This will be also useful if still not all
places are covered...
Place the check in default_netvm setter. Skip it during qubes.xml loading
(when events_enabled=False), but still keep it in setter, to _validate_ the
value before any property-* event got fired.
If there was some netvm set, unset it first (same as with ordinary set).
Otherwise it will try to attach new netvm without detaching the old one
first.
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
Management API gives access only to qubes.property. And this is
actually a good thing, so instead of extending it to access also
builtins.property, add a simple decorator to define read-only, stateless
qubes.property.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2622
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.

Set parameters for possibly hiding domain's real IP before attaching
network to it, otherwise we'll have race condition with vif-route-qubes
script.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#1143
This is the IP known to the domain itself and downstream domains. It may
be a different one than seen be its upstream domain.

This helps hiding VM IP for anonymous VMs (Whonix) even when some
application leak it. VM will know only some fake IP, which should be set
to something as common as possible.
The feature is mostly implemented at (Proxy)VM side using NAT in
separate network namespace. Core here is only passing arguments to it.
It is designed the way that multiple VMs can use the same IP and still
do not interfere with each other. Even more: it is possible to address
each of them (using their "native" IP), even when multiple of them share
the same "fake" IP.
Original approach (marmarek/old-qubes-core-admin#2) used network script
arguments by appending them to script name, but libxl in Xen >= 4.6
fixed that side effect and it isn't possible anymore. So use QubesDB
instead.
From user POV, this adds 3 "features":
- net/fake-ip - IP address visible in the VM
- net/fake-gateway - default gateway in the VM
- net/fake-netmask - network mask
The feature is enabled if net/fake-ip is set (to some IP address) and is
different than VM native IP. All of those "features" can be set on
template, to affect all of VMs.
Firewall rules etc in (Proxy)VM should still be applied to VM "native"
IP.

This commit eliminates import statements happening in the middle of the
file (between two classes definition). The cycles are still there. The
only magic module is qubes itself.
