importing pkg_resources and looking up entry points wastes 100ms+
of time, which is totally unnecessary

Make qubes.NotifyTools reuse logic of qubes.FeaturesRequest, then move
actual request processing to 'features-request' event handler. At the
same time implement handling 'qrexec' and 'gui' features request -
allowing to set template features when wasn't already there.
Behavior change: template is no longer allowed to change feature value
(regardless of being True or False). This means the user will always be
able to override what template have set.
This way it will work independently from where qrexec-policy tool will
be called (in most cases - from a system service, as root).
This is also very similar architecture to what we'll need when moving to
GUI domain - there GUI part will also be separated from policy
evaluation logic.

This allows the user to start VM based on "old" system (from R3.x) in
R4.0. For example after restoring from backup, or migration. This also
makes upgrade instruction much easier - no need complex recovery
instruction if one upgrade dom0 before upgrading all the templates.
