nova/nova/virt/__init__.py
Ewan Mellor f39d6549d4 In preparation for XenAPI support, refactor the interface between
nova.compute and the hypervisor (i.e. libvirt).

compute.node is no longer coupled tightly with libvirt.  Instead, hypervisor
connections are handled through a simple abstract interface.   This has the
additional advantage that there is no need to riddle the code with
FLAGS.fake_libvirt checks, as we now have an interface behind which we can mock.

The libvirt-specific code, and the fakevirt code used for unit tests, have
moved into nova.virt.

The fake_libvirt flag has been replaced with a connection_type flag, that will
allow us to specify different connection types.

The disk image handling (S3 or local disk image fetch) has moved into
nova.virt.images, where it will be easier to share between connection types.

The power_state values (Instance.RUNNING etc) and the INSTANCE_TYPES dictionary
have moved into their own files (nova.compute.instance_types and
nova.compute.power_state) so that we can share them without mutual
dependencies between nova.compute.node and nova.virt.libvirt_conn.
