Handle this case specifically, as way too many users ignore the message
during installation and complain it doesn't work later.
Name the problem explicitly, instead of pointing at libvirt error log.

Similar to domain-start-failed, add an event fired when
domain-pre-shutdown was fired but the actual operation failed.
Note it might not catch all the cases, as shutdown() may be called with
wait=False, which means it won't wait fot the actual shutdown. In that
case, timeout won't result in domain-shutdown-failed event.

Check early (but after grabbing a startup_lock) if VM isn't just
removed. This could happen if someone grabs its reference from other
places (netvm of something else?) or just before removing it.
This commit makes the simple removal from the collection (done as the
first step in admin.vm.Remove implementation) efficient way to block
further VM startups, without introducing extra properties.
For this to be effective, removing from the collection, needs to happen
with the startup_lock held. Modify admin.vm.Remove accordingly.
Calling qrexec service dom0->dom0 can be useful when handling things
that can run in dom0 or other domain. This makes the interface uniform.
Example use cases include GUI VM and Audio VM.
The initializer of the class DispVM first calls the initializer of the
QubesVM class, which among other things sets properties as specified in
kwargs, and then copies over the properties of the template. This can
lead to properties passed explicitly by the caller through kwargs being
overwritten.
Hence only clone properties of the template that are still set to
default in the DispVM.

If kernel package ships default-kernelopts-common.txt file, use that
instead of hardcoded Linux-specific options.
For Linux kernel it may include xen_scrub_pages=0 option, but only if
initrd shipped with this kernel re-enable this option later.

First of all, do not try to call those services in VMs not having qrexec
installed - for example Windows VMs without qubes tools.
Then, even if service call fails for any other reason, only log it but
do not prevent other services from being called. A single uncooperative
VM should generally be able only to hurt itself, not break other VMs
during suspend.

Since we have more reliable domain-shutdown event delivery (it si
guaranteed to be delivered before subsequent domain start, even if
libvirt fails to report it), it's better to move detach_network call to
domain-shutdown handler. This way, frontend domain will see immediately
that the backend is gone. Technically it already know that, but at least
Linux do not propagate that anywhere, keeping the interface up,
seemingly operational, leading to various timeouts.
Additionally, by avoiding attach_network call _just_ after
detach_network call, it avoids various race conditions (like calling
cleanup scripts after new device got already connected).
While libvirt itself still doesn't cleanup devices when the backend
domain is gone, this will emulate it within qubesd.

If default-kernelopts-pci.txt is present, it will override default
built-in kernelopts for the VMs with PCI device assigned.
Similarly if default-kernelopts-nopci.txt is present, it will override
default kernelopts for VMs without PCI devices.
For template-based VMs, kernelopts of the template takes precedence over
default-kernelopts-nopci.txt but not default-kernelopts-pci.txt.

If a specific DVM template is used for given DispVM, make new DispVMs
called from it use the same DVM template (unless explicitly overridden).
This prevent various isolation bypass cases, like using a chain of
DispVMs to access network.
Instead of checking if domain is still running/paused, try to kill it
anyway and ignore appropriate exception. Otherwise domain could die
before the check and killing.
- Two new methods: .features.check_with_adminvm() and
.check_with_template_and_adminvm(). Common code refactored.
- Two new AdminAPI calls to take advantage of the methods:
- admin.vm.feature.CheckWithAdminVM
- admin.vm.feature.CheckWithTemplateAndAdminVM
- Features manager moved to separate module in anticipation of features
on app object in R5.0. The attribute Features.vm renamed to
Features.subject.
- Documentation, tests.
* devel-20181205:
vm/dispvm: fix /qubes-vm-presistence qubesdb entry
vm/mix/net: prevent setting provides_network=false if qube is still used
tests: updates-available notification
tests/network: reduce code duplication
tests: listen on 'misc' socket too
The new property is meant for management stack (Salt) to set which DVM
template should be used to maintain given VM. Since the DispVM based on
it will be given ultimate control over target VM (qubes.VMShell
service), it should be trusted. The one pointed to by default_dispvm
not necessary is one.
The property defaults to the value from the template (if any), and then
to a global management_dispvm property. By default it is set to None.

Use maxmem=0 for disabling dynamic memory balance, instead of cryptic
service.meminfo-writer feature. Under the hood, meminfo-writer service
is also set based on maxmem property (directly in qubesdb, not
vm.features dict).
Having this as a property (not "feature"), allow to have sensible
handling of default value. Specifically, disable it automatically if
otherwise it would crash a VM. This is the case for:
- domain with PCI devices (PoD is not supported by Xen then)
- domain without balloon driver and/or meminfo-writer service
The check for the latter is heuristic (assume presence of 'qrexec' also
can indicate balloon driver support), but it is true for currently
supported systems.
This also allows more reliable control of libvirt config: do not set
memory != maxmem, unless qmemman is enabled.
memory != maxmem only makes sense if qmemman for given domain is
enabled. Besides wasting some domain resources for extra page tables
etc, for HVM domains this is harmful, because maxmem-memory difference
is made of Popupate-on-Demand pool, which - when depleted - will kill
the domain. This means domain without balloon driver will die as soon
as will try to use more than initial memory - but without balloon driver
it sees maxmem memory and doesn't know about the lower limit.

It makes a lot of sense to call long-running operations in that event
handler, including calling back into the VM. Allow that by using
fire_event_async, not just fire_event.
Also, document the event.
vm.kill() will try to get vm.startup_lock, so it can't be called while
holding it already.
Fix this by extracting vm._kill_locked(), which expect the lock to be
already taken by the caller.
