This duplicates some code from the DRBDev class, but not very much, and
it will be expanded with the new functionality available for the 8.x
version. Currently the code is not accessible outside the module.

This patch introduces a dependency on the pyparsing module.

This patch adds a new option to the instance removal command
"--ignore-failures" that forces the removal of the instance from the
configuration even if the removal process encounters errors.

In order to be able to do this when the remote node(s) is(are) down, we
need to restrict the execution of the instance removal hook to the
master only. I think this is a reasonable trade-off (but I'm not sure).

I was getting into trouble with gnt-backup and discovered reading the
code of the debian-etch os image and the error logs that:
     1 - Debian os image shipped by ganeti depends on the availability
of dump and restore.

Based on that I had included in the section of "Installing the
Operating System support packages" the dependency of dump/restore and
the command to install dump/restore.
