This patch switches from the twisted usage for inter-node protocol to
simple BaseHTTPServer/httplib. The patch has more deletions because we
use no authentication, no encryption at all.

As such, this is just for trunk, and only for testing. What it brings is
the ability to use the rpc library from within multiple threads in
parallel (or it should so).

Since the changes are very few and non-intrusive, they can be reverted
without impacting the rest of the code.

This passes burnin. QA was not tested.

In order to do this for simplicity we leave the OSFromDisk function as-is and
we convert the eventual exception to an OS object in ganeti-noded. The
unmangling gets simplified and so does the code for checking whether the OS is
valid.

Reviewed-By: iustinp

The functions in ganeti-noded and rpc.py still deal with the fact that an
InvalidOS error could be returned by DiagnoseOS. As this is not the case
anymore simplify their code for the current behavior.

call_os_get is never called with a real list of nodes, so there's no point in
it being multi-node. Making it single-node till a usage for multi-node call is

Currently, troubleshooting DRBD problems involves a manual process of going
backwards from the DRBD device to the instance that owns it.

This patch adds a weak (i.e. not guaranteed to be correct or up-to-date)
cache of device to instance. The cache should be, in normal operation,
having correct information as the only time when devices change paths
are when they are started/stopped, and the code in backend.py adds cache
updates to exactly these operations.

The only drawback of this implementation is that we don't fully update
the cache on renames of devices (we clean the old entries but we don't
add new ones). Since the rename changes the path only for LVs (and not
drbd and md), this is less of a problem as the target of this code is
debugging DRBD and MD issues.

The patch writes files named bdev_drbd<N> (or bdev_md<N>,
bdev_xenvg_...) in /var/run/ganeti (more exactly, LOCALSTATEDIR/ganeti).
The files start with 'bdev_' and continue with the path of the device
under /dev/ (this prefix stripped), and contain the following values,
space separated:
  - instance name
  - primary or secondary (depending on how the device is on the primary
    or secondary node)
  - instance visible name: sda or sdb or not_visible, the latter case
    when the device is not the top-level device (i.e. remote_raid1
    templates will have sd[ab] for the md, but not_visible for drbd and
    logical volumes)

The cache is designed to not raise any errors, if there is an I/O error
it will only be logged in the node daemon log file. This is in order to
reduce the possible impact of the cache on the block device activation
and shutdown code.

This patch add code for renaming a device; more precisely, for changing
the unique_id of the device. This means:
  - logical volumes, rename the volume
  - drbd8, change the remote peer

This is needed for the being able to replace disks for drbd8.

The two calls mirror_addchild and mirror_removechild take only one child
for addition/removal. While this is enough for our md usage, for local
disk replacement in drbd8, we need to be able to specify both the data
and metadata device. This patch modifies these two rpc calls (and their
backend implementation and their usage in cmdlib) to take a list of
children to add/remove.

This patch series implements the reboot command for gnt-instance. It
supports three types of reboot: soft (hypervisor reboot), hard (instance
config rebuild and reboot) and full (full instance shutdown and startup
again).

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).

This also means we can get rid of a lot of infrastructure too:

  - one rpc function

- Create all --output options using a constant
- Put node checking code from opcodes into a single function
- Do the same for output fields
