Add -usbdevice tablet to KVM when using vnc

When using VNC, it is recommended to use a tablet-style
input device instead of a mouse. This allows most VNC viewers
to send proper mouse coordinates to the virtual machine's desktop
resulting in perfectly aligned guest and host mouse pointers....

Only use boot=on on non-ide disks only (KVM)

boot=on implies that KVM boots using extboot. This is only required
to boot non-IDE disks and has the side-effect that there is at most
one bootable device. This behaviour breaks some operating systems,
most notably the windows installer that tries to chainload the hard-disk...

KVM: fix a bug in _TryReadUidFile

If the uid pool is not in use _TryReadUidFile will try to return "uid"
even if it hasn't tried to read it at all.

KVM: implement the HT_SM_POOL security model

In order not to complicate to much the _ExecuteKVMRuntime function with
nested try/except/finally/else constructs we move the actual
runcmd+check call in a separate _RunKVMCmd function.

KVM: add an instance uid file concept

If this file exists, for an instance, we release the uid contained
inside back to the uid pool, at instance shutdown.

KVM: move post-shutdown cleanup operations

Currently putting the cleanup just after the actual shutdown ensures
that it never gets called, due to how the retry/shutdown cycle works.
So we move those cleanups to their new dedicated place.

Add CleanupInstance hypervisor call

Currently some hypervisors (namely kvm) need to do some cleanup after
making sure an instance is stopped. With the moving of the retry cycle
in backend those cleanups were never done. In order to solve this we add
a new optional hypervisor function, CleanupInstance, which gets called...

Move the runas user at execution time

Everything still works the same way, but the user is calculated each
time we start kvm, rather than stored in the config file. This makes it
easier to implement the "pool" security model.
