Make qubes.NotifyTools reuse logic of qubes.FeaturesRequest, then move
actual request processing to 'features-request' event handler. At the
same time implement handling 'qrexec' and 'gui' features request -
allowing to set template features when wasn't already there.
Behavior change: template is no longer allowed to change feature value
(regardless of being True or False). This means the user will always be
able to override what template have set.
Install files in /etc/qubes-rpc for all methods defined in API
documentation, even if not yet implemented (qubesd will handle it
raising appropriate exception).
Use minimal program written in C (qubesd-query-fast), instead of
qubesd-query in python for performance reasons:
- a single qubesd-query run: ~300ms
- equivalent in shell (echo | nc -U): ~40ms
- qubesd-query-fast: ~20ms
Many tools makes multiple API calls, so performance here do matter. For
example qvm-ls (from VM) currently takes about 60s on a system with 24
VMs.
Also make use of `$include:` directive in policy file, to make it easier
defining a VM with full Admin API access.

This service currently does more harm (desync libvirt state with
reality) than good. Since we have qubesd, we may come back to
implementing it properly using libvirt events.
It doesn't really make sense to keep man pages in separate package.
Previously it was done to avoid some build dependencies (pandoc require
a lot of them), but it isn't a problem anymore.
This all either have been migrated to core3, or is not needed anymore.
There is still qvm-tools directory with a few tools that needs to be
migrated, or installed as is.
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 way it will work independently from where qrexec-policy tool will
be called (in most cases - from a system service, as root).
This is also very similar architecture to what we'll need when moving to
GUI domain - there GUI part will also be separated from policy
evaluation logic.

This socket (and commands) are not exposed to untrusted input, so no
need to extensive sanitization. Also, there is no need to provide a
stable API here, as those methods are used internally only.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#853
This is rewritten version of core-admin-linux/qrexec/qrexec-policy.
It's placed outside of `qubes` module on purpose - to avoid imporing it,
which require a lot of time.

This reverts commit 0f1672dc63.
Bring it back. Lets not revert the whole feature just because required
package exists only in qubes-builder, not in some online repository.
Also, this revert didn't go as planned - there was a reference to a
'passphrase' local variable, but it wasn't assigned any value.

This is intended to call to finish template installation/removal.
Template RPM package is basically container for root.img, nothing more.
Other parts needs to be generated after root.img extraction. Previously
it was open coded in rpm post-install script, but lets keep it as qvm
tool to ease supporting multiple version in template builder
QubesOS/qubes-issues#2412
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.
