Instead of excerpt from /proc/meminfo, use just one integer. This make
qmemman handling much easier and ease implementation for non-Linux OSes
(where /proc/meminfo doesn't exist).
For now keep also support for old format.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#1312
There is no point in changing *public API* for just a change without any
better reason. It turned out most of those settings will be the same in
Qubes 4.0, so keep names the same.

core: use runuser instead of sudo for switching root->user
There are problems with using sudo in early system startup
(systemd-logind not running yet, pam_systemd timeouts). Since we don't
need full session here, runuser is good enough (even better: faster).

core: start qubesdb as normal user, even when VM is started by root
On VM start, old qubesdb-daemon is terminated (if still running). In
practice it happen only at VM startart (shutdown and quickly start
again). But in that case, if the VM was started by root, such operation
would fail.
So when VM is started by root, make sure that qubesdb-daemon will be
running as normal user (the first user in group 'qubes' - there should
be only one).
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#1745
Implement required event handlers according to documentation in
qubes.devices.
A modification of qubes.devices.DeviceInfo is needed to allow dynamic,
read-only properties.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2257
Allow device plugin to list attached and available devices. Enforce
at API level every device being exposed by some domain.
This commit only changes devices API, but not update existing users
(pci) yet.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2257
- fix assigning 'template' property - do not do it if VM already have it
set
- cap default maxmem at 4000, as we clamp it to 10*memory anyway (and
default memory is 400)
This directory is not only for disk images (in fact disk images may be
elsewhere depending on choosen volume pool), so it would be cleaner to
handle (create/remove) it directly in QubesVM class.
