We were already sharing a chunk of this in a haphazard way. Now officially
break it all out, similar to netlist.py. This mostly unifies the views
of host->storage and storagebrowser.py
And clean up the API mess while we are at it. Treat the key as an opaque
value that users shouldn't depend on.
Besides the improved code clarity and API layout, this will help diagnose
'key error' issues, since we'll see an object name instead of UUID which
is hard to trace back.

Basically, drop usage of nested main loops. As has been documented in
other commit messages, we use nested main loops in ways they aren't
supposed to be used. They gave us async behavior that would block
callers, but had weird behavior in some edge cases.
Switch to having async dialogs be 100% async, requiring the user to
pass in a completion callback which is triggered after the async
action is complete.
The goal here is to reduce the amount of tick() polling that we do by default.
For things like pools, networks, and interfaces, the constant polling is
not very helpful and causes CPU churn and slowness for remote connections.
Switch to a more on demand style. Pages that want new information for
these objects now request a priority tick that only refreshes the info
we want.
This isn't perfect, but neither was the previous solution in the face of
things like XML updates behind our back. The real solution here is libvirt
event support across the board.
This base connection object will be used to simplify the API in various
places, reduce libvirt API calls, and better share code between virtinst
and virt-manager. For now it just centralizes connection opening.
This also exposed various places where our handling for older libvirt
was busted, so raise our minimum host version to 0.6.0, the first
version that supports threaded client requests.
Despite being a known quantity, autotools is so overkill for our needs,
so let's drop it and replace it with a much simpler and easy to customize
system.
