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.

HVM can set some xenstore entries (in qubes-tools/ subtree) to pass
informations about installed tools to dom0. qubes.NotifyTools service
triggers update of VM properties (like qrexec_installed).
This way, after installation of Qubes Windows Tools, the user doesn't need
to change any VM settings to use the tools.
