XSA-320 / CVE-2020-0543 affects Ivy Bridge and later platforms, but a
fix (microcode update) won't be available for Ivy Bridge. Disable
affected instruction (do not announce it in CPUID - complying software
should not use it then).

This commit adds a test case for the QubesVM class's is_fully_usable
method. The verified scenarios are as follows:
* The VM has qrexec enabled, and the qrexec service has been
successfully started.
(The VM becomes "fully usable" in this case.)
* The VM has qrexec enabled, and the qrexec service has failed to start
(Error handling case; the VM is *not* fully usable.)
* The VM does *not* have qrexec enabled.
(The VM becomes "fully usable" in this case.)
* origin/pr/303:
Update tests after adding /connected-ips
Also reload /connected-ips on firewall change / domain spawn
Also store /connected-ips6 for machines that have IPv6 addresses
Don't try to write to qubesdb of an offline VM
Maintain a list of connected machine IPs in qubesdb
Extension objects are singletons and normally do not require any special
cleanup. But in case of tests, we try to remove all the qubes objects
between tests and the cache in usb extension makes it hard.
Add a 'qubes-close' event that extensions can handle to remove extra
references stored in extension objects themselves.
Only first 4 disks can be emulated as IDE disks by QEMU. Specifically,
CDROM must be one of those first 4 disks, otherwise it will be
ignored. This is especially important if one wants to boot the VM from
that CDROM.
Since xvdd normally is a kernel-related volume (boot image, modules) it
makes perfect sense to re-use it for CDROM. It is either set for kernel
volume (in which case, VM should boot from it and not the CDROM), or
(possibly bootable) CDROM.
This needs to be done in two places:
- BlockExtension for dynamic attach
- libvirt xen.xml - for before-boot attach
In theory the latter would be enough, but it would be quite confusing
that device will get different options depending on when it's attached
(in addition to whether the kernel is set - introduced here).
This all also means, xvdd not always is a "system disk". Adjust listing
connected disks accordingly.
- allow TestQubesDB to be populated with initial data
- support list() method
- allow to register pre-created VM instance (useful for AdminVM, which
don't accept setting qid)
If kernel package ships default-kernelopts-common.txt file, use that
instead of hardcoded Linux-specific options.
For Linux kernel it may include xen_scrub_pages=0 option, but only if
initrd shipped with this kernel re-enable this option later.

If default-kernelopts-pci.txt is present, it will override default
built-in kernelopts for the VMs with PCI device assigned.
Similarly if default-kernelopts-nopci.txt is present, it will override
default kernelopts for VMs without PCI devices.
For template-based VMs, kernelopts of the template takes precedence over
default-kernelopts-nopci.txt but not default-kernelopts-pci.txt.

- Two new methods: .features.check_with_adminvm() and
.check_with_template_and_adminvm(). Common code refactored.
- Two new AdminAPI calls to take advantage of the methods:
- admin.vm.feature.CheckWithAdminVM
- admin.vm.feature.CheckWithTemplateAndAdminVM
- Features manager moved to separate module in anticipation of features
on app object in R5.0. The attribute Features.vm renamed to
Features.subject.
- Documentation, tests.
The new property is meant for management stack (Salt) to set which DVM
template should be used to maintain given VM. Since the DispVM based on
it will be given ultimate control over target VM (qubes.VMShell
service), it should be trusted. The one pointed to by default_dispvm
not necessary is one.
The property defaults to the value from the template (if any), and then
to a global management_dispvm property. By default it is set to None.

Use maxmem=0 for disabling dynamic memory balance, instead of cryptic
service.meminfo-writer feature. Under the hood, meminfo-writer service
is also set based on maxmem property (directly in qubesdb, not
vm.features dict).
Having this as a property (not "feature"), allow to have sensible
handling of default value. Specifically, disable it automatically if
otherwise it would crash a VM. This is the case for:
- domain with PCI devices (PoD is not supported by Xen then)
- domain without balloon driver and/or meminfo-writer service
The check for the latter is heuristic (assume presence of 'qrexec' also
can indicate balloon driver support), but it is true for currently
supported systems.
This also allows more reliable control of libvirt config: do not set
memory != maxmem, unless qmemman is enabled.
memory != maxmem only makes sense if qmemman for given domain is
enabled. Besides wasting some domain resources for extra page tables
etc, for HVM domains this is harmful, because maxmem-memory difference
is made of Popupate-on-Demand pool, which - when depleted - will kill
the domain. This means domain without balloon driver will die as soon
as will try to use more than initial memory - but without balloon driver
it sees maxmem memory and doesn't know about the lower limit.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#4135
When a VM (or its template) does not explicitly set a qrexec_timeout,
fall back to a global default_qrexec_timeout (with default value 60),
instead of hardcoding the fallback value to 60.
This makes it easy to set a higher timeout for the whole system, which
helps users who habitually launch applications from several (not yet
started) VMs at the same time. 60 seconds can be too short for that.
Multiple properties are related to system installed inside the VM, so it
makes sense to have them the same for all the VMs based on the same
template. Modify default value getter to first try get the value from a
template (if any) and only if it fails, fallback to original default
value.
This change is made to those properties:
- default_user (it was already this way)
- kernel
- kernelopts
- maxmem
- memory
- qrexec_timeout
- vcpus
- virt_mode
This is especially useful for manually installed templates (like
Windows).
