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.
When creating a new VM of type DispVM without specifying any template
(e.g. "qvm-create --class DispVM --label red foo"), use default_dispvm.
Otherwise it would fail saying "Got empty response from qubesd."
When dom0 do not provide the kernel, it should also not set kernel
command line in libvirt config. Otherwise qemu in stubdom fails to start
because it get -append option without -kernel, which is illegal
configuration.

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.

currently it takes 100ms+ to determine the default pool every time,
including subprocess spawning (!), which is unacceptable since
finding out the default value of properties should be instantaneous
instead of checking every thin pool to see if the root device is in
it, find and cache the name of the root device thin pool and see if
there is a configured pool with that name
xterm is very fast on closing when application inside terminates. It is
so fast with closing on keydown event that xdotool do not manage to send
keyup event, resulting in xdotool crash. Add a little more time for
that.
When writing process returns an error, prefer reporting that one,
instead of other process (which in most cases will be canceled, so
the error will be meaningless CancelledError).
Then, include sanitized stderr from VM process in the error message.
