Since we have app.default_pool* properties, create appropriately named
pool and let those properties choose the right pool. This also means we
don't need to specify pool name in default volume config anymore

This driver isn't used in default Qubes 4.0 installation, but if we do
have it, let it follow defined API and its own documentation. And also
explicitly reject not supported operations:
- support only revisions_to_keep<=1, but do not support revert() anyway
(implemented version were wrong on so many levels...)
- use 'save_on_stop'/'snap_on_start' properties directly instead of
obsolete volume types
- don't call sudo - qubesd is running as root
- consistently use path, path_cow, path_source, path_source_cow
Also, add tests for BlockDevice instance returned by
FileVolume.block_device().

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.

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.

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).
