Have dm-snapshot of dm-snapshot. The first layer is to "cache" changes
done by base volume holder (TemplateVM in case of root.img), the second
layer is to hold changes do by snapshot volume holder (AppVM in case of
root.img). In case of Linux VMs the second layer is normally done inside
of VM (original volume is exposed read-only). But this does not work for
non-Linux VMs, orr even Linux but without qubes-specific startup
scripts.
This is first part of the change - actual construction of two layers of
dm-snapshot, not plugged in to core scripts yet.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2256
QubesDB daemon no longer remove socket created by new instance, so one
part of VM restart race condition is solved. The only remaining part is
to ensure that we really connect to the new instance, instead of talking
to the old one (soon to be terminated).
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#1694
None of properties set there do any "dangerous thing" for filesystem
permissions (at least for now), so do not require it. This is mostly to
keep compatibility with %post rpm scripts (kernel-qubes-vm at least).
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2412
This tool by design is called as root, so try to:
- switch to normal user if possible
- fix file permissions afterwards - if not
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2412
There was a comment '# Set later', but actually values were never set.
This break adding just installed template (qvm-template-postprocess).
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2412
When system is installed with LVM thin pool, it should be used by
default. But lets keep file-based on for /var/lib/qubes for some corner
cases, migration etc.

This is intended to call to finish template installation/removal.
Template RPM package is basically container for root.img, nothing more.
Other parts needs to be generated after root.img extraction. Previously
it was open coded in rpm post-install script, but lets keep it as qvm
tool to ease supporting multiple version in template builder
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2412
VM files may be already removed. Don't fail on this while removing a
VM, it's probably the reason why domain is being removed.
qvm-remove tool have its own guard for this, but it isn't enough - if
rmtree(dir_path) fails, storage.remove() would not be called, so
non-file storages would not be cleaned up.
This is also needed to correctly handle template reinstallation - where
VM directory is moved away to call create_on_disk again.

'-' is invalid character in python identifier, so all the properties
have '_'. But in previous versions qvm-* tools accepted names with '-',
so lets not break this.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2412
/var/log/qubes directory have setgid set, so all the files will be owned
by qubes group (that's ok), but there is no enforcement of creating it
group writable, which undermine group ownership (logs created by root
would not be writable by normal user)
