vm-creator: Don't delete VMs automatically

Felipe Borges requested to merge dont-delete-vms-when-installer-media-is-gone into master

Boxes used to delete VMs automatically once the installer media is nowhere to be found. That is problematic because it can lead to users losing important data.

We now attempt to launch a file chooser enabling users to add a installer media to replace the missing one.

In case the user dismisses the dialog (e.g. doesn't provide an alternative installer media), we leave the VM in a broken state.

Users could still attempt to recover it by adding a CDROM/ISO in "Devices & Share" Properties, and booting through it.

Fixes #227 (closed)
