Provide an advanced management ov VM disk images

Registered by Daniele Lacamera

This blueprint has been superseded. See the newer blueprint "Improvements to Qemu static configuration" for updated plans.

* Menu "Image creation" on main window must become "Disk Images"
* Menu should contain "create image" and "Images management"
* The latter will show a dialog window with a treeview containing information on the images
* Disk images properties for adding a new one: Icon, nickname, path on the disk

On Qemu config, images will be chosen (also) via nickname in a combobox.

[DRAFT: should we remove selection from filebrowser button?]
The VMImage chosen as the booting disk will give the icon to the machine in the main menu and the topology. (E.g. a linux disk will have a penguin as icon, if selected as some qemu boot disk, that qemu will have that penguin in the topology and in the bricks main treeview).
