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.
QubesOS/qubes-issues#853
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.
The following list is bollocks. There were many, many more.

This commit took 2 days (26-27.01.2016) and put our friendship to test.

This is part of fixing qvm-start.
qmemman was moved with minimal touching, mainly module names.
Moved function parsing human-readable sizes from core2. This function is
wrong, because it treats k/M/G as 1024-based, but leave it for now.
This libs are required by both dom0 and VM so it's better to have it
separately. Previously in VM it was separate package, but dom0 have them
embedded in qubes-core-dom0, but qubes-core-vm-libs package was used to build
qubes-gui-dom0. Now we do not build all packages for all distros (especially do
not build core-vm package for dom0 distro, so gui-dom0 build fails), so make it
explicit which package is needed by which system.
Some packages depends on kernel (ex fuse, pulseaudio), but kernel in VM is
managed by dom0. Any hack like exlude or so on will break some things, so
install empty placeholder package to fulfill dependencies.
