In case of LVM (at least), "internal" flag is initialized only when
listing volume attached to given VM, but not when listing them from the
pool. This looks like a limitation (bug?) of pool driver, it looks like
much nicer fix is to handle the flag in qvm-block tool (which list VMs
volumes anyway), than in LVM storage pool driver (which would need to
keep second copy of volumes list - just like file driver).

There are mutiple cases when snapshots are inconsistently created, for
example:
- "-back" snapshot created from the "new" data, instead of old one
- "-snap" created even when volume.snap_on_start=False
- probably more
Fix this by following volume.snap_on_start and volume.save_on_stop
directly, instead of using abstraction of old volume types.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2256
Just calling pool.init_volume isn't enough - a lot of code depends on
additional data loaded into vm.storage object. Provide a convenient
wrapper for this.
At the same time, fix loading extra volumes from qubes.xml - don't fail
on volume not mentioned in initial vm.volume_config.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2256
- add missing lvm remove call when commiting changes
- delay creating volatile image until domain startup (it will be created
then anyway)
- reset cache only when really changed anything
- attach VM to the volume (snapshot) created for its runtime - to not
expose changes (for example in root volume) to child VMs until
shutdown

The wrapper doesn't do anything else than translating command
parameters, but it's load time is significant (because of python imports
mostly). Since we can't use python lvm API from non-root user anyway,
lets drop the wrapper and call `lvm` directly (or through sudo when
necessary).
This makes VM startup much faster - storage preparation is down from
over 10s to about 3s.

...instead of manual copy in python. DD is much faster and when used
with `conv=sparse` it will correctly preserve sparse image.

1. Add a helper function on vm.storage. This is equivalent of:
vm.storage.get_pool(vm.volumes[name]).export(vm.volumes[name])
2. Make sure the path returned by `export` on LVM volume is accessible.

Add 'backenddomain' element when source (not target) domain is not dom0.
Fix XML elemenet name. Actually set volume.domain when listing
VM-exposed devices.
