vm-creator: Don't delete VMs automatically
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
