But it should. After all, the operation is modifying the original pool,
so the user better have an appropriate permission to do so.

Currently, Permissions.Modify|VM.Allocate on the VM and Pool.Allocate on
the target pool would be enough to "steal" the guest, no permissions
required on the original pool at all. IMHO, the user really should have
a Pool.Allocate on the original pool as well.

Since I noticed it in v3: we usually use "api:" and "ui:" as prefixes
rather than "backend:" and "frontend:". Would be nice if you could use
them too for consistency.
