Prior to this patch, novaclient was handling sessions in an inconsistent
manner.
Every time we created a client instance, it would use a global
connection pool, which made it difficult to use in a process that is
meant to be forked.
Obviously sessions like the ones provided by the requests library that
will automatically cause connections to be kept alive should not be
implicit. This patch moves the novaclient back to the age of a single
session-less request call by default, but also adds two more
resource-reuse friendly options that a user needs to be explicit about.
The first one is that both v1_1 and v3 clients can now be used as
context managers,. where the session will be kept open (and thus the
connection kept-alive) for the duration of the with block. This is far
more ideal for a web worker use-case as the session can be made
request-long.
The second one is the per-instance session. This is very similar to what
we had up until now, except it is not a global object so forking is
possible as long as each child instantiates it's own client. The session
once created will be kept open for the duration of the client object
lifetime.
Please note: client instances are not thread safe. As can be seen from
above forking example - if you wish to use threading/multiprocessing,
you *must not* share client instances.

tests/__init__.py implies a package in the global namespace. These
tests are not global python tests, but rather tests for novaclient.
