Allow to flag select VMs as autostarting

E.g. the user might then create a UsbVM, and mark it as autostarting.

qvm-prefs -s usbvm autostart true

We can have a simple service that would look through all the VMs which have autostart property set to true and attempt to start them. IMO the service should not wait for the VMs to start nor ensure they started without an error. Specifically the user might just defined 50 VMs to auto-start and this will likely fail because of memory.

It might be nice to have a check box option for this on the "Basic" tab of the AppVM settings menu next to "Include in backups by default" and "Run in debug mode."
