qvm-revert-template-changes tool

Currently we do auto-commit for the template changes, so that whenever the user shuts down a template VM, all the changes are automatically committed.

However, it would actually be better if we could display a dialog box on template shutdown asking the user if he or she intends to commit or discard the changes just introduced to the template.

Originally there was dialog box and this was bad. Now there is no dialog box and also this is bad...

I think there is another way to solve the true problem - easy way to rollback last changes. This can be separate tool (qvm-template-rollback) which will do the work (as described in full procedure some time ago in email).

Hm, I don't think that originally there was a dialog box to confirm the changes... IIRC, originally the user had to do qvm-comit-template or press the comit button in the mamanger. Any of this was just too easy to forget about.

Anyway, perhaps doing the default commit, but also having such a rollback tool might be the best solution (plus a rollback button in the manager).
