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.

Drop DeviceInfo.data - device extension should provide a subclass with
proper individual fields.
Drop DeviceAssignment.frontend_domain - this information is redundant -
frontend domain is defined by where DeviceAssignment is attached.
Rename DeviceCollection.devclass to bus - devclass if confusing here,
because this term is also used for DeviceInfo subclass.
Setting VMProperty to None VM should be encoded as '' value (according
to VMProperty._none_value). But value validation rejected this value.

Accessing non-existing property is a common action (for example
hasattr() do try to access the property). So, introduce specific
exception, inheriting from AttributeError. It will behave very similar
to standard (non-Admin-API) property access.
This exception is reported to the Admin API user, so it will be possible
to distinguish between non-existing property and access denied. But it
isn't any significant information leak, as list of valid properties is
publicly available in the source code.
