For a long time the DNS address was the same as default gateway. This is
still the case in R3.x, but using `qubes-gateway` configuration
parameter for it is misleading. It should be up to dom0 to provide DNS
address (whether the value is the same as gateway or not).

Those are currently barely useful, since starting the application isn't
the biggest bottleneck of DispVM. And since stderr is now visible on
qvm-open-in-dvm output, not scare the user with it.
In case of some services it makes much sense for caller to receive also
stderr in addition to stdout. For example:
- qubes.VMShell (stderr required for salt-ssh over qrexec)
- qubes.OpenInVM - especially when called to DispVM - otherwise
diagnosing errors can be hard
And generally all sort of error reporting (the purpose of stderr). It
would ease debugging - instead of message "error occurred, check here and
there for more details", it could be "error occurred: the reason".

* origin/pr/61:
update-proxy: use curl instead of wget in archlinux in order to limit additional dependencies
archlinux: properly add qubes markers in pacman.conf
archlinux: add Qubes Markers in pacman.conf so that changes done by qubes scripts are not inserted at the end of pacman.conf
implement update proxy support for archlinux
archlinux: add gcc and make as make dependencies
update qubes.InstallUpdateGUI to support archlinux
xdg-open is more robust in choosing default application for particular
file type: it supports fallback if the preferred application isn't
working, and most importantly it support system-wide defaults
(/usr/share/applications/defaults.list,
/usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list), so no "random" application is
chosen.
By default xdg-open tries to use environment-specific tool, like
gvfs-open - which isn't good for us, because many such tools do not wait
for editor/viewer termination. That would mean that DisposableVM would
be destroyed just after opening the file.
To avoid such effect, we set DE=generic.

No functional change.
This will make it easier to switch the tool (without recompiling
vm-file-editor), or even use differrent tools depending on some
conditions.

qubes-sysinit.sh waits for xenbus initialization by watching its
interface file presence. In linux before 3.10 there is no
/dev/xen/xenbus, which is the case in Debian 7 (3.2 kernel). The problem
applies only to the VMs with PVGrub enabled, because otherwise VM would
use dom0 privided kernel, which is much newer.

Sending dbus calls to a service which isn't running _and is blocked to
not be started_ would result in timeout, which would delay the whole
system suspend.
FixesQubesOS/qubes-issues#1419
Many USB controllers doesn't play nice with suspend when attached to PV
domain, so unload those drivers by default. This is just a configuration
file, so user is free to change this setting if his/shes particular
controller doesn't have such problem.

It is expected to not output anything on stdout. Especially remote end
may be already terminated, so writing there would result in EPIPE.

Check `yum check-update` exit code, instead of `grep` - when there are
multiple commands on the single line, $? contains exit code of the last
executed.
