The code assumes all lines have at least two elements which are
whitespace separated - i.e. it does not deal with empty lines or comment
lines with no spaces. This patch fixes this.

Also, the patch replaces the blank between IP and the canonical name
with a tab (restoring previous behaviour).

This is a critical file. Breaking it would be very bad. Thus, if the system
crashes before the data is synched to the disk, it should have the complete

Currently there are a few version of "write a file safely" in the code.
This patch adds a generic function that should be able to replace all
the other versions.

The "take attributes from the target file" option, while useful, is not
implemented by this patch.

Since modules are not directly executables, remove the shebang from
them. This helps with lintian warnings.

Also make the autogenerated _autoconf.py contain two comment lines at
the beginning, like the other modules.

We currently require that hostnames are FQDN not short names
(node1.example.com instead of node1). We can allow short names as long
as:
  - we always resolve the names as returned by socket.gethostname()
  - we rely on having a working resolver

These issues are not as big as may seem, as we only did gethostname() in
a few places in order to check for the master; we already required
working resolver all over the code for the other nodes names (and thus
requiring the same for the current node name is normal).  The patch
moves some resolver calls from within execution path to the checking
path (which can abort without any problems). It is important that after
this patch is applied, no name resolving is called from the execution
path (LU.Exec() or other code that is called from within those methods)
as in this case we get much better code flow.

This patch also changes the functions for doing name lookups and
encapsulates all functionality in a single class.

The final change is that, by requiring working resolver at all times, we
can change the 'return None' into an exception and thus we don't have to
check manually each time; only some special cases will check
(ganeti-daemon and ganeti-watcher which are not covered by the
generalized exception handling in cli.py). The code is cleaner this way.

The current result of utils.LookupHostname() is a dict, but this does
not allow static checkers to check the correctness of the code. This
patch introduces a new class names HostInfo and changes LookupHostname
to return an instance of this class; this allows better checking of the
code (and also the code is cleaner).

This filters out the LANG and LC_ variables from the environment of programs

This changes the implementation of RunCmd from using the popen2 module
to using the (new in 2.4) subprocess module.

This is helpful because the subprocess module has more advanced features
than popen2, the most important ones being the ability to run code in the
child process before the exec and ability to launch with modified
environment.

This changes the raising of exceptions from:
  raise Exception, value
to
  raise Exception(value)

as the first form will be removed in python-3000 and the second form is
preferred now.

The changes also involve a few cases of changing from raising standard
exceptions and use our own ones.

The new version also fixes many pylint-generated warnings, especially in
ganeti-noded where I changed many methods to @staticmethod.

There is no functionality changed (barring any bugs).
