DispVM: honor the template selected by user, be more verbose when refreshing the savefile

I'm using two different template: the standard one, and another, less trusted one, with more stuff installed there (e.g. some 3rd party, unsigned printer drivers etc).

I want to use the latter template for my DispVM, so I did at the begining:

sudo qvm-create-default-dvm my-non-standard-template

This worked well until I decided to update the template, and so Qubes decided later to also update my DispVM savefile. Unfortunately, it now used the default template for the new savefile, instead of the one I chose previously.

I think we should save somewhere the user's choice regarding which template was chosen to generate the DispVM and stick to it on subsequent savefile regeneration.

Also, we really should provide some progress indicator when refreshing the savefile -- it really is unacceptable to expect that the user would be wiling to wait some 2 minutes, not seeing any progress indicator. Something like zenity --progress would be fine.
