Qubes OS version (e.g., R3.2): R4.0

Currently there is hvm property, which if True (default) means the VM should start as HVM, but if False - PV. There are two issues with this:

  1. This is quite Xen specific (other VMMs may support other modes, or just one)
  2. Even in Xen it is not enough, because we miss PVHv2 mode here (#2185)

Lets change this to virt_mode property, with possible values hvm, pv and later pvhv2 (or hvmlite?). When porting to other VMMs, other values may be supported, but property itself will be already there.

@marmarek
Add code and test for migrating vm.hvm into vm.virt_mode 
This will allow to load old qubes.xml - otherwise previous change render
the system unusable (until manual qubes.xml edit).
