Currently the replace_secondary mode is too restrictive. This patch
changes this to a general 'relocate' mode where the node(s) to be
changed are specified via a new key in the request dict ('nodes') so
that we can change any of the instance's nodes.

Note that for the relocate mode, len(nodes) == required_nodes, so the
required nodes field is redundant, but it is provided for consistency
with the allocate mode.

This patch allows the dumb allocator to perform the replace secondary
request type. This is done simply by not allowing the current instances
nodes as a valid selection, and using the existing instance data instead
of the request (which doesn't have the instance info when doing the
replace_secondary).

This patch adds the 'required_nodes' field in the request dict for the
iallocator.

This means that the handmade-checks in the create instance can be
simplified, and that the dumb allocator can be made simple. Therefore
the patch also modifies it.

The patch also sends the disk_space_total to the script in realocate
mode and a small fix for showing errors (include stderr too).

This (final) patch allows the instance's nodes to be selected
automatically based on the passed allocator algorithm.

The patch changes the pnode opcode parameter from required to optional,
now either the pnode or the iallocator must be passed.

A possible improvement could be to organize all the _IAllocator
functions into a separate class, but that can come later and the current
version is functionally ok.

This patch adds the paths for searching for instance allocators and
makes the LUTestAllocator code run the allocator and return the results
if the direction specified is 'out'. 'out' means that the opcode will
return the result of the allocator run, instead of the allocator input
file ('in').

The patch unifies all names to refer to 'iallocator' instead of plain
allocator.

The patch also adds an example allocator that can be used for testing
this new functionality.

Currently, the example scripts (the init.d and the cron script) do not
depend on the Makefile, so if configure is rerun with different
parameters these scripts are not rebuild.

The patch adds Makefile as a dependency so changes to installation paths
or other parameters trigger the rebuild.

Currently in order to deal with tmpfs /var/run, we create the
BDEV_CACHE_DIR in the init script. However, that does not cover all the
cases, and it's not a proper place to deal with it: for example, dealing
with not initialized clusters and the master node is more complicated.

Therefore, this patch does:
  - make ganeti-noded create the directory automatically
  - make ganeti-noded error out if it can't create it or it's already
    there but not a directory
  - remove the creation from the init.d script

The cron file in ganeti's example directory is now static, and executes
ganeti-watcher in /usr/local/sbin no matter where it's really installed. With
this patch we generate it at build time substituting the right value of
@SBINDIR@ from ganeti.cron.in. We also make sure ganeti-watcher exists and is
executable before running it.

This is targeted at 1.2 as well.

We want the name of the example OS to be nicer for packagers, so update

This reverts commit 397, as the support in autoconf for docdir is

The /var/run directory can be a tmpfs mount, so even if we make it at
install time (or include it in the package) it can go away. Therefore,
test for its existence and create it in the startup script.

The docdir variable is defined by autoconf, so we don't need to define
it ourselves. This way, the target documentation directory can
be changed via ./configure instead of patching Makefile.am.

In truth, we should install the pdf and html files using the pdf and
html targets, since configure defines pdfdir=htmldir=docdir; but
installing them in docdir is good enough.

Currently, an unreachable node (or one that return undetermined failure)
in the hooks pre-phase will abort the curren operation. This is not
good, as a down node could prevent many operation on the cluster.

This patch changes a RPC-level failure (and not a hook execution
failure) into a warning. It also modifies the related test cases.

This fixes issue 11.
