While at it, adjust implementation to specification: tags don't have
value, only one bit of information (present/not present).

This requires creating LVM volume group, so create on based on loop dev
in /tmp.
This is rather rough, but if any of this fails, run the tests anyway -
it will simply skip LVM tests.
Allow specific pool implementation to provide asynchronous
implementation. vm.storage.* methods will detect if given implementation
is synchronous or asynchronous and will act accordingly.
Then it's up to pool implementation how asynchronous should be achieved.
Do not force it using threads (`run_in_executor()`). But pool
implementation is free to use threads, if consider it safe in a
particular case.
This commit does not touch any pool implementation - all of them are
still synchronous.

This allows avoid race condition between registering event handlers and
performing some action. The important thing is the event sent after
registering event handlers in qubesd. This means state changes (like
VM start/stop) after 'connection-established' event will be included in
event stream.

qvm-ls tool (as all other tools) will be accessing properties through
API, so no need (nor sense) for this tool-specific attributes in
qubes.property. The only somehow used was ls_width, and in fact it made
the output unnecessary wide.
The tool itself is already moved to core-mgmt-client repository.

This also means we don't check if a VM with given name (in case of
VMProperty) exists in the system, at this stage. But this is ok, lets
not duplicate work of property setter.

If kwargs contains dict as one of values, it isn't hashable and can't be
used as value in frozenset/tuple. Convert such values into
frozenset(dict.items()). Only one (more) level is supported, but it
should be enough.
Solution from http://stackoverflow.com/a/13264725
Use the right cow image and apply the second layer to provide read-write
access. The correct setup is:
- base image + base cow -> read-only snapshot (base changes "cached"
until committed)
- read-only snapshot + VM cow -> read-write snapshot (changes discarded
after VM shutdown)
This way, even VM without Qubes-specific startup scripts will can
benefit from Template VMs, while VMs with Qubes-specific startup scripts
may still see original root.img content (for possible signature
verification, when storage domain got implemented).
