Qubes OS version (e.g., R3.2): R4.0 RC1

Affected TemplateVMs (e.g., fedora-23, if applicable): N/A

Expected behavior: qvm-start command would allow user to specify location of an installation iso using the --cdrom argument

Actual behavior: I receive the following error message: "qvm-start: error: unrecognized arguments: --cdrom=./Dowloads/win7.iso"

Steps to reproduce the behavior: in Dom0, create windows standalone template qvm-create and then issue command to start template specifying location of installation iso:

sudo qvm-create win7 --class StandaloneVM --label=blue
sudo qvm-start win7 --cdrom=/path/to/windows/iso

General notes: It seems the version of the qvm-start command in qubes 4 rc1 does not have an option to specify the location of an iso. FYI, I have done this successfully in r3.2.

Sorry, I don't see how this is a duplicate. This is specifically for specifying location of an installation image for windows. The version of qvm-start does not have an option to specify that. The suggested solution for #2951 does not seem applicable.

Ok, leave it open as a reminder to re-enable --cdrom option after fixing #2951

admin-api: add commands to update selected settings 
Generally modifying storage volume/pool settings require removing and
creating the object again. This is not only API limitation, but most of
them really need the object to be recreated (for example storage pool
have most settings related to physical location of the data).
But some properties are safe to change. This applies to
`revisions_to_keep` (both storage pool and volume). Introduce
appropriate API methods for this. Put property name in API call name,
because argument is already used. And also because we don't plan to be
too flexible here - we may need to add one or two more mutable properties,
but definitely we don't want to allow any of them (as explained above).

The same applies to `persistent` option of device. There, in theory
detach+attach should be enough at all times, but in practice domain may
use the device (for example system being started from it -
QubesOS/qubes-issues#3055).

devices: implement DeviceCollection.update_persistent() 
Allow attached device to be converted from persistent to non-persistent
and the other way around.
This is to allow starting a VM with some device attached temporarily.
When VM is not running, it is possible to attach device only
persistently, so this change will allow to do that, then, after starting
the VM, change it to non-persistent - so it will not be attached again
at further startups.

tools: restore qvm-start --cdrom and similar options 
Booting a VM from cdrom require attaching the device before VM startup,
which is possible only in persistent mode. But for qvm-start --cdrom
adding a cdrom only temporarily, use new update_persistence() function
to convert the assignment to temporary one.
