When rule does not specify forced target (`target=...`), generic
`$dispvm` wasn't resolved to specific Disposable VM (based on
`default_dispvm` property).
This ease Admin API administration, and also adds checking if qrexec
policy + scripts matches actual Admin API methods implementation.
The idea is to classify every Admin API method as either local
read-only, local read-write, global read-only or global read-write.
Where local/global means affecting a single VM, or the whole system.
See QubesOS/qubes-issues#2871 for details.

commit/recover/reset should really be handled in start/stop. Nothing
stops specific pool implementation to define such functions privately.

Always define those properties, always include them in volume config.
Also simplify overriding pool based on volume type defined by those:
override pool unless snap_on_start=True.

Linux kernel bug cause hypercall fails from HVM userspace (see
referenced issue). As a simple workaround, do not advertise SMAP to VMs
- but still use it as hypervisor level.

Since libvirt do provide object for dom0 too, return it here.
It's much easier than special-casing AdminVM everywhere. And in fact
sometimes it is actually useful (for example attaching devices from/to
dom0, adjusting memory).
The first operation returns a token, which can be passed to the second
one to actually perform clone operation. This way the caller needs have
power over both source and destination VMs (or at least appropriate
volumes), so it's easier to enforce appropriate qrexec policy.
The pending tokens are stored on Qubes() instance (as QubesAdminAPI is
not persistent). It is design choice to keep them in RAM only - those
are one time use and this way restarting qubesd is a simple way to
invalidate all of them. Otherwise we'd need some additional calls like
CloneCancel or such.

Add convenient collection wrapper for easier getting selected volume.
Storage pool implementation may still provide only volume listing
function (pool.list_volumes), or, additionally, optimized
pool.get_volume.
This means it is both possible to iterate over volumes:
```python
for volume in pool.volumes:
...
```
And get a single volume:
```python
volume = pool.volumes[vid]
```

In the end firewall is implemented as .Get and .Set rules, with policy
statically set to 'drop'. This way allow atomic firewall updates.
Since we already have appropriate firewall format handling in
qubes.firewall module - reuse it from there, but adjust the code to be
prepared for potentially malicious input. And also mark such variables
with untrusted_ prefix.
There is also third method: .Reload - which cause firewall reload
without making any change.

There is a problem with having separate default action ("policy") and
rules because it isn't possible to set both of them atomically at the
same time.
To solve this problem, always have policy 'drop' (as a safe default),
but by default have a single rule with action 'accept'

Do this for all standard property types - even if other types do
additional validation, do not expose them to non-ASCII characters.

We've decided to make VM name immutable. This is especially important
for Admin API, where some parts (especially policy) are sticked to the
VM name.
Now, to rename the VM, one need to clone it under new name (thanks to
LVM, this is very quick action), then remove the old one.
