With this commit we introduce the External Storage Interface
to Ganeti, abbreviated: ExtStorage Interface.

The ExtStorage Interface provides Ganeti with the ability to interact
with externally connected shared storage pools, visible by all
VM-capable nodes. This means that Ganeti is able to handle VM disks
that reside inside a NAS/SAN or any distributed block storage provider.

The ExtStorage Interface provides a clear API, heavily inspired by the
gnt-os-interface API, that can be used by storage vendors or sysadmins
to write simple ExtStorage Providers (correlated to gnt-os-interface's
OS Definitions). Those Providers will glue externally attached shared
storage with Ganeti, without the need of preprovisioned block devices
on Ganeti VM-capable nodes as confined be the current `blockdev' disk
template.

To do so, we implement a new disk template called `ext' (of type
DTS_EXT_MIRROR) that passes control to externally provided scripts
(the ExtStorage Provider) for the template's basic functions:

 create / attach / detach / remove / grow

The scripts reside under ES_SEARCH_PATH (correlated to OS_SEARCH_PATH)
and only one ExtStorage Provider is supported called `ext'.

The disk's logical id is the tuple ('ext', UUID.ext.diskX), where UUID
is generated as in disk template `plain' and X is the disk's index.

Some GHC flags are very useful, but only appear in more recent GHC
versions. To support the use of such flags while still supporting
older compilers, let's add conditional checks and enabling based on
the results.

Currently only `-fwarn-incomplete-uni-patterns` is enabled, which
detects refutable patterns in lambda expressions and pattern bindings
(e.g. "let (Just x) = y"); such constructs are bad as they can lead to
runtime exceptions.

Additionally, fix an existing such bad construct in a test case; we
workaround it by using error, since that should never fail.

This patch cleans up  the Haskell library detection and defaults.

First, it makes the base compiler/libraries required, per the email discussion.

It then adds two new small autoconf macros, on to check for a required
Haskell library and one to do custom action based on test results. We
use these macros to cleanup and simplify a bit the module detection:

- rapi, confd, and split query are auto detected and enabled if _all_
  required libraries are present
- unittests are enabled if _all_ required libraries are present

The patch also updates the documentation regarding required libraries.

After this patch, base Ganeti fully buildable on Debian Squeeze/Ubuntu
Lucid.

We try to automatically enable the htools-rapi and split query (if
confd and htools-rapi are enabled) options. This is our intended
default configuration, and allows easier test of the new code
path. Further cleanups for checking whether confd can be enabled will
come later.

The move block is due to the fact that we first have to check for
htools-rapi, and only then we can auto-enable the feature.

Currently, the lint target does a sequential: pep8, pylint, pylint on
the QA sources. hlint is run only when explicitly requested.

This patch reorganises the lint target by:

- splitting the current lint target into separate pylint (slow),
  pylint-qa (fast), pep8 (fast) targets
- making lint itself depend on the above plus hlint
- both pep8 and hlint are optional, based on whether the said binaries
  were detected at configure time

make -j is slightly faster after this patch (1m18s → 1m7s).

This patch changes configure.ac Makefile.am so that the user can pass:

- --disable-confd (or --enable-confd=no) to disable it completely
- --enable-confd=yes or --enable-confd=python to select the
  traditional implementation (this is the default setting)
- --enable-confd=haskell to select hconfd

The only "not nice" thing is that I've chosen to keep the
hconfd.hs/hconfd name, and we rename it after install via an
install-exec-hook. The other choice is possible too (to rename the
source file/binary).

One additional note is that if we select haskell, the _rule_ for
creating daemons/ganeti-confd dissapears; whereas if we select python,
the rule for htools/hconfd still exists (one can build it explicitly),
it just is not installed. This is due to the different way in which
the rules are declared.
