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.

The script (which is geared towards Debian) is actually not fully

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

Also, put in a notice about using the latest release OS version, so if

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.

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).
