/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)

Libvirt do not show actual block device (loop*) choosen for the device -
only original (file) path. But file path is available in device
description. Please note that VM can provide any description (withing
allowed limits), effectively breaking this check again (hidding the
attachment status). But even without this bug it could do that - by
hidding the whole device from QubesDB.

This is used internally for device-model stubdomains (untrusted qemu)
for HVMs, and causes conflicts when trying to boot foo (HVM) and foo-dm
(any type).

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.

- 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.

Set parameters for possibly hiding domain's real IP before attaching
network to it, otherwise we'll have race condition with vif-route-qubes
script.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#1143
This is the IP known to the domain itself and downstream domains. It may
be a different one than seen be its upstream domain.

This helps hiding VM IP for anonymous VMs (Whonix) even when some
application leak it. VM will know only some fake IP, which should be set
to something as common as possible.
The feature is mostly implemented at (Proxy)VM side using NAT in
separate network namespace. Core here is only passing arguments to it.
It is designed the way that multiple VMs can use the same IP and still
do not interfere with each other. Even more: it is possible to address
each of them (using their "native" IP), even when multiple of them share
the same "fake" IP.
Original approach (marmarek/old-qubes-core-admin#2) used network script
arguments by appending them to script name, but libxl in Xen >= 4.6
fixed that side effect and it isn't possible anymore. So use QubesDB
instead.
From user POV, this adds 3 "features":
- net/fake-ip - IP address visible in the VM
- net/fake-gateway - default gateway in the VM
- net/fake-netmask - network mask
The feature is enabled if net/fake-ip is set (to some IP address) and is
different than VM native IP. All of those "features" can be set on
template, to affect all of VMs.
Firewall rules etc in (Proxy)VM should still be applied to VM "native"
IP.

Core3 keep information whether property have default value for all the
properties (not only few like netvm or kernel). Try to use this feature
as much as possible.
When user included/excluded some VMs for restoration, it may be
neceesarry to fix dependencies between them (for example when default
template is no longer going to be restored).
Also fix handling conflicting names.
