    Rework the export failure handling · 44247302

    Currently, the way to signal export failures is by the return value.
    This means that if a client doesn't check the values (e.g. burnin), any
    failure is being ignore. And this is what we've been doing forever in
    burning (not actually testing that the export is successful).
    
    This patch changes the behaviour of ExportInstance: it will abort with
    an exception for any error, and removes the custom handling from
    gnt-backup. This makes the behaviour consistent for any client (e.g.
    RAPI), and it prevents false positives. If, for a given instance, a
    subset of disks should not be backed up, the OS scripts should handle
    that case.
