Split "debug mode" into multiple debugging-related qvm-services

[How to file a helpful issue](https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/issue-tracking/) ###… The problem you're addressing (if any) Kicksecure would benefit from some way of detecting when it is running under Qubes CI, so it can enable extra diagnostic features to catch some kinds of bugs more easily. These features shouldn't be enabled in general, since they can hurt performance (for instance by slowing down shutdown). At the same time, these features are very likely to be diagnostic-only, since the behavior of Kicksecure and Whonix when running under CI should be very close to the behavior when running outside of CI. If there was a "debug" flag that was enabled under CI that we could read, it would allow us to do just that. If it was user-accessible, it might even help end users diagnose problems more easily. Qubes has a feature like this already, the `debug` property of VMs, and there is a checkbox in Qubes Manager to enable it, so this seems ideal at first glance. However, this is not enabled by default under CI in part because it enables extremely verbose logging in the GUI virtualization system. ### The solution you'd like Split the functionality of the "debug" property into a number of qvm-services, each one of which enables special debugging features in a separate part of the system. Either get rid of the original "debug" property entirely, or make it an "enable all debug options" switch. ### The value to a user and who that user might be Kicksecure developers will be able to enable diagnostic features in Qubes CI without needing to file hacky PRs [like this](https://github.com/QubesOS/openqa-tests-qubesos/pull/52), end-users will be able to debug parts of individual VMs without having to enable *all* debugging features and potentially run into negative consequences like disk space exhaustion as a result. ### Completion criteria checklist (This section is for developer use only.

Enable verbose debugging on legacy-dist's fixes script

Hopefully will help us figure out what went wrong [here](https://openqa.qubes-os….org/tests/173881#step/whonix_firstrun/8). (I may follow this up with another PR to enable something that will detect if legacy-dist.service got stuck and complain, so that we can tell when we've hit a situation where the logs generated by this are interesting.) EDIT: PR has been changed to enable a qvm-service instead. Some Whonix-side code changes will be made to look for this new service.
