If SendWorker queue is full, check if that thread is still alive.
Otherwise it would deadlock on putting an entry to that queue.
This also requires that SendWorker must ensure that the main thread
isn't currently waiting for queue space when it fails. We can do this by
simply removing an entry from a queue - so on the next iteration
SendWorker would be already dead and main thread would notice it.
Getting an entry from queue in such (error) situation is harmless,
because other checks will notice it's an error condition.

I had some issue with fstrim and the missing else had caused the code to continue and fail later with a non-descriptive error message. This commit makes the error message more descriptive and helpful.
It may happen (especially when VM doesn't close cleanly and needs to be
killed) that qubesdb-daemon will not notice VM shutdown immediately.
Normally it would stop after 60s timeout, but speed it up in case of
system shutdown

This is workaround for missing libxl/libvirt functionality: QubesOS/qubes-issues#1426
Also it should improve system shutdown time, as this is the situation
where all the VMs are shutting down simultaneously.

'xdotool search --sync' sometimes fails when searching for window. Fix
that by ensuring the windows is already visible when trying to enter
keys there.
Forgetting this leads to misterious errors (VM started with different
kernel than it was just set), so simplify the API.

When using PVGrub it doesn't make sense to attach modules.img, since
modules are already in the VM. Initramfs there will already handle such
situation and will not try to mount it, when VM's root filesystem
already contains appropriate /lib/modules/`uname -r`.
On the other hand, error earlier when initramfs is missing. While also
not used by PV Grub, the file is always specified in libvirt config and
when missing libvirt will throw rather cryptic error message.

1. Do not start GUI session - to reduce startup time
2. Use user="root" instead of sudo - not all templates have sudo
installed (for example fedora-21-minimal)
3. Add missing wait=True - otherwise VM may be shutdown during the
operation.

For a long time Qubes backup did not include symlinked files, which
apparently is quite common practice for users with multiple disks (for
example HDD + SSD). It is covered in documentation
(https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/secondary-storage/), but better solution
would be to simply include symlinked files.
Restore of such files would (of course) not preserve the symlinks -
normal files will be restored instead. But that's fine. If the user want
to move the data to another location, he/she can do that and restore the
symlink.
The only possible breakage from this change is having a copy (instead of
symlink) to a VM icon. But storing that symlink in a backup was broken
for some time (because of --xform usage) and it is handled during
restore, so not a real problem.
This doesn't cover all the problems with symlinked VM images - the other
one is qvm-block behaviour, which would treat such images as non-system
disks, so easily detachable (which would break VM operation). But that's
another story.

In most cases it would be some leftover after failed restore, or even
the reason why the user is restoring a VM in the first place. Move it to
nearby directory, but do not remove - backup tool should _never_ remove
any data.
When the pre-existing directory would not be moved, restore utility
(`shutil.move`) would place the data inside of that directory, with
additional directory level (for example `/var/lib/qubes/appvms/work/work`),
which would be wrong and would later fail on `vm.verify_files`. And more
importantly - such VM would not work.
