This patch changes the backend selection method in CLI to prefer, in order:
  - a RAPI specification
  - a Luxi specification
  - and finally the node/instance files

It also modifies hspace and hbal to provide a ‘-L’ command line option
for enabling Luxi.

Currently many of the exit and warning conditions mistakenly display error
messages on stdout, which makes parsing the output of programs harder. This
patch attempts to fix such occurrences.

This big patch cleans up the code per hlint indications. Many removals
of extra parentheses, replacements of concat . map with concabtMap,
extra dollar signs, eta reductions, etc. were performed.

The code still compiles and passes a couple of manual tests on sample
files. The individual changes are also small enough as to be visually
easy to confirm.

Currently totalResources returns a 5-tuple of integers. This is not easy
to handle, as each change on the return type means that each caller must
be updated.

This patch adds a new type for cluster stats and uses that instead as
its return type. This simplifies its callers while complicating only a
little the computation of the stats.

This patch changes Cluster.totalResources to compute more details about
the cluster status, and enhances hspace to display more of these.

In a few places (e.g. tryRead or any printf call) it's a little bit hard
to add the correct type signatures, but in the it is possible to fix
these warnings (which can bite one in subtle cases).

This doc-patch adds copyright and license information to (hopefully) all
needed files.

This patch makes the Types module a base module, and Node/Instance ones
import it, from the previous (opposite) situation. This will allow in
the future to use newtypes for the index and name types.

This removes the return of ktn/kti from Loader.mergeData and associated
functions.

This patch removes all uses of ktn/kti from the past-loader stages.

Since we have Node/Instance.name, we can now simplify a few constructs.

This patch moves the common loading sequence to CLI, such that hbal/hn1
and possible future scripts that take the input from same sources can
use it.

This moves the remaining loading function to Loader (together with its
associated support functions).

This patch generalizes a little the CLI handling by not passing in a
special function for help and such, but instead requiring that the
options object supports some common functionality.

This new big patch does a couple of more cleanups in the loading of data
chapter:
  - introduce a Types module that holds most types (except the base
    Node/Instance/etc.) so that multiple other modules can use these
    (instead of only Cluster and its users)
  - bring IAlloc.hs in line with the recent changes of providing data
    types and not strings
  - removal of obsolete Utils.hs json-related functions

This big patch changes the loader model from “string data as common
format” to actual object structures as common format.

The text loading function move from Cluster.hs to a new Text.hs module,
some common functions are moved to a new Loader.hs module, and the
return values from both Rapi.hs and Text.hs are uniformized.

This patch changes Cluster.loadData to return a Result, instead of
directly the values; this will allow us to return meaningful error
values (e.g. when an instances lives on unknown node) rather than simply
abort. Currently the result is always an Ok, the actual signalling of
errors will come later.

Its callers are changed to accommodate for the new return type and to
display errors as needed.

This big patch converts from our home-grown monad-like constructs
(the Either stuff) to a real, Either-like-but-another-name monad.

We introduce a “Result a” monad, and this allows dropping many of the
extra constructs. Hopefully the code is also more clear.

Many of the functions could now be written in a generic-monad style,
instead of Result specifically, but that will come in future patches.

IAlloc.hs also has some unrelated patches.

This option is the opposite of the --verbose option, and it allows
decreasing the verbosity level from the default of one to zero (which
currently doesn't show the warning messages for missing disk/memory).

This patch moves the oneline format into a separate function for easier
usage.

For clusters with no instances, there is no point in computing either
the score or in running the algorithm. In this case, we exit prematurely
and when running in one-line mode we show dummy information.

This new parameter causes the algorithm to finish (or even not start at
all) if we reach/have a score better than it.

This patch adds support for selecting the instance/node file names via
two environment variables (HTOOLS_NODES, HTOOLS_INSTANCES).

Unfortunately we still have lots of duplicated code, since the options
are not unified.

Neither hbal nor hn1 take any arguments beside the options, so if any
are passed is most likely an unintended error. This patch aborts in such
cases.

This patch adds support in hbal for writing the command list to a shell
script, with error checking and allowing for early exit.

Since it's easy to pass a wrong node name as offline, we should abort
instead of silently ignoring it.

This patch adds checking of cluster data in the binaries and display of
node's x_mem/i_mem in the node list.

This patch moves the common CLI functionality (as much as currently
possible) into a separate module. This means we only have one parseOpts
and that Utils.hs doesn't keep this kind of functions anymore.

This is added for better readability, since this is very often used in
declarations.

This patch modifies hbal (only, hn1 not yet) for setting nodes offline.

The modules are moved from the ‘top’ namespace to ‘Ganeti.HTools’, in
compliance with standard practices.

This patch moves the version string creation into a function in Utils
which shows some more information.

This patch adds a -V, --version command line option that shows the
program version and also updates the hn1 usage string (similar to hbal).

This just reorders some functions for a more logical ordering.

This patch changes the solution list to include a step counter so that
it's more clear these are successive steps (in a definite order), and
not just an unordered list of changes.

This patch added a verbose output and changed the output so that by
default it is less verbose and more clear.

This patch moves the formatting of the command list to Cluster.hs and
enhances it with separator messages between the steps.
