Allow overriding default template (xen.xml) with user-provided one (/etc/qubes/templates?). Also allow override it per-VM.

AFAIR there was a reason why VM directory (/var/lib/qubes/appvms/some-name) cannot be used. @woju can you post it here for reference?

I don't recall why you can't use /var/lib/qubes. But there is a reason for
using /etc: if you have single override file [1], you can write some logic
like {% if vm.<property> = '<value>' %} that applies to more than 1 domain.
It can't be done with per-vm templates.

So I did per-vm templates also in /etc mainly for consistency.

[1](currently /etc/qubes/templates/libvirt/xen-user.xml, though I'm not
attached to it)
