- catch both QubesException and libvirtError - do not kill starting VM
just because an error while connecting _other_ VMs to it
- try to detach network first (and do not abort on error) - if
libvirt/libxl will manage to cleanup stale interface this way, the
attach operation below may succeed.

1. Make sure VMs are started after dom0 actual memory usage is reported
to qmemman, otherwise dom0 will hold 4GB, even if just a little over 1GB
is needed at that time.
2. Request only vm.memory MB from qmemman, instead of vm.maxmem. While
HVM with PCI devices indeed do not support populate-on-demand, this is
already handled in libvirt XML.
The later may often cause VM startup fail on systems with 8GB of memory,
because maxmem is 4GB there and with dom0 keeping the other 4GB (see
point 1) there is not enough memory to start any sych VM.

Human readable format `str(datetime.datetime)` is a nightmare for Admin
API level communication. Especially setting the property in a format
that it was read was not supported, and handling such format in
untrusted input handling code is a bad idea. Revert to a simple intiger
format.
Rename events:
- domain-feature-set -> domain-feature-set:feature
- domain-feature-delete -> domain-feature-delete:feature
- domain-tag-add -> domain-tag-add:tag
- domain-tag-delete -> domain-tag-delete:tag
Make it consistent with property-* events. It makes more sense to
include tag/feature name in event name, so handler can watch a single
tag/feature - which is the most common case. Otherwise, most handlers
would begin with `if feature == '...'` anyway, wasting time on most
events.
In cases where multiple features/tags should be handled by a single
handler, it is now possible to register a handler with wildcard, for
example `domain-feature-set:*`.
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
Allow using default feature value from netvm, not template. This makes
sense for network-related features like using tor, supporting ipv6 etc.
Similarly to check_with_template, expose it also on Admin API.
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.

* qubesos/pr/166:
create "lvm" pool using rootfs thin pool instead of hardcoding qubes_dom0-pool00
change default pool code to be fast
cache PropertyHolder.property_list and use O(1) property name lookups
remove unused netid code
cache isinstance(default, collections.Callable)
don't access netvm if it's None in visible_gateway/netmask
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 HVM have PCI device, it can't use PoD, so need 'maxmem' memory to be
started. Request that much from qmemman.
Note that is is somehow independent of enabling or not dynamic memory
management for the VM (`service.meminfo-writer` feature). Even if VM
initially had assigned maxmem memory, it can be later ballooned down.

Fix qubes-core.service ordering
The previous version did not ensure that the stopped/shutdown event was
handled before a new VM start. This can easily lead to problems like in
QubesOS/qubes-issues#3164.
This improved version now ensures that the stopped/shutdown events are
handled before a new VM start.
Additionally this version should be more robust against unreliable
events from libvirt. It handles missing, duplicated and delayed stopped
events.
Instead of one 'domain-shutdown' event there are now 'domain-stopped'
and 'domain-shutdown'. The later is generated after the former. This way
it's easy to run code after the VM is shutdown including the stop of
it's storage.
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.
vm.create_qdb_entries can be called multiple times - for example when
changing VM IP. Move starting qdb watcher to start(). And just in case,
cleanup old watcher (if still exists) before starting new one.
This fixes one FD leak.
Catch exception there and log it. Otherwise asyncio complains about not
retrieved exception. There is no one else to handle this exception,
because shutdown event is triggered from libvirt, not any Admin API.
Allow to get domain class as a property, not using admin.vm.List call.
This makes it unnecessary to call admin.vm.List on the client side to
construct wrapper object.
There is intentionally no default template in terms of qubes.property
definition, to not cause problems when switching global default_template
property - like breaking some VMs, or forcing the user to shutdown all
of them for this. But this also means it shouldn't be allowed to reset
template to "default" value, because it will result in a VM without
template at all.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#3115
If VM startup failed before starting anything (even in paused state),
there will be no further event, not even domain-shutdown. This makes it
hard for event-listening applications (like domains tray) to account
domain state. Fix this by emiting domain-start-failed event in every
case of failed startup after emiting domain-pre-start.
