Parallels Cloud Server uses the same interface for both
containers and virtual machines management, where it's
possible, I've decided to start writing support of VMs.
I hope then it's possible to make driver which supports
both types of virtualization and going to do it later.

Each user in system has it's own set of virtual machines,
I agree to change URI to parallels://system

Yes, there are no problems with fixing it now.

OK, I can go it in separate patch.
