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.

Registering event implementation in libvirt and then not calling it is
harmful, because libvirt expects it working. Known drawbacks:
- keep-alives are advertised as supported but not really sent (cause
dropping connections)
- connections are not closed (sockets remains open, effectively leaking
file descriptors)
So call libvirt.virEventRegisterDefaultImpl only when it will be really
used (libvirt.virEventRunDefaultImpl called), which means calling it in
QubesWatch. Registering events implementation have effect only on new
libvirt connections, so start a new one for QubesWatch.

There are some circular dependencies (TemplateVM.appvms,
NetVM.connected_vms, and probably more), which prevents garbage
collector from cleaning them.

The only directory to cleanup is cls.tmpdir. So make it simple, without
class property cleanup_paths, which for some reason didn't wasn't
emptied in tearDownClass.
This process may be running as root in case of default NetVM. But do not
kill it forcibly (through sudo or so), because it may also be stale
pid file. After all, QubesDB should automatically terminate when its VM
is terminated, so this code is already some error handling.

* qubesos/pr/7:
Don't send screen layout to the VM if we haven't received it from xrandr because this breaks proper initial screen layout set by gui-agent FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#1305QubesOS/qubes-issues#998
If /etc/localtime in dom0 is a hardlink to zoneinfo file (instead of
symlink) and more than one zoneinfo file is hardlinked to this inode,
appVMs will get invalid timezone, e.g. "Europe/Warsaw\x0aPoland".

If running as normal user, chown will fail. This isn't a problem,
because the file is probably already owned by the correct user. The
whole point about this chown is to give access to the file for normal
user, so if the write succeeded, it isn't needed.
This should be done in QubesVm class (property setter). But since we're
going to rewrite both qvm-prefs and QubesVm, settle on smaller change
for now.

When restarting VM (starting it just after it was shut down), it may
happen that previous `qubesdb-daemon` instance is still running - if VM
doesn't properly terminate the connection, dom0 part will not terminate
immediately, but at next alive check (every 10s). Such `qubesdb-daemon`,
when terminating, will remove pid file and socket file. In case of new
daemon already running it would be those of the new daemon, making the
whole QubesDB of this VM inaccessible for dom0 (`qubesdb-daemon` is
running, but its socket is removed).
To prevent this race, ensure that previous instance is terminated before
starting the new one.
There is no need to manually removing socket file, because if some stale
socket exists, it will be replaced by the new one when new
`qubesdb-daemon` starts up.
