Add generic customization hooks via decorator.

Hooks add the ability to insert custom code around operations that
declare a named hook:

e.g.

@hooks.add_hooks('create_instance')
def create_instance(....):
   ....

The above hook allows Hook objects to be run 'pre' and 'post' the
execution of create_instance()

Hook objects are discovered via the setuptools entry point group
'nova.hooks'.

Fix fname concurrency tests.

It was possible for thread2 to run before thread1 in the fname
concurrency tests. When this happens the assertions in the fname
concurrency tests fail. In each fname test block until thread 1 signals
the test before creating thread 2. In the different fname test block
until thread 2 signals the test before beginning the actual test work.

This ensures everyone has started as expected before checking the
expected done values.

Use fixtures library for nova test fixtures.

Moving the test-case setup and teardown code into managed fixtures
so that we can better interact with them when we start running things
in parallel.

Unpin lxml requirements

Ubuntu is using a much newer version of lxml so
we shouldn't lock the versions in our infrasctructure.

Raise NotImplementedError in dns_driver.DNSDriver.

Updates dns_driver.DNSDriver so that we raise NotImplementedError
instead of returning empty result sets or passing. Since this
class is the default dns_driver for Nova it can be quite
confusing when it returns empty results (which actually
causes some HTTP 500 errors as well).

We really need to switch the default floating/instance
dns managers to MiniDNS as smoketests fail otherwise we
currently use nova.network.dns_driver.DNSDriver which is
not correct

libvirt: enable apic setting for Xen or KVM guest.

Bug 1086352

Currently, nova doesn't enable apic setting for Xen or KVM guest
in its libvirt driver. Windows guests would not boot successful in
such case. This patch adds apic setting in libvirt driver for Xen
or KVM guest, which would fix this problem. A check is also added
to libvirt guest config test case for this patch.

Use conductor for bw_usage operations

This patch moves bw_usage operations from compute manager
to conductor. In an effort to reduce the number of API points
we're adding to the conductor RPC API, this patch actually
only adds an update function, which also returns the current
values. This is used by the public conductor API layer to provide
both get and update calls through a single remote function.
Discussion and comments on this approach are welcomed.

Access DB values as dict not as attributes. Part 4

We cannot assume nova.db.api will be returning sqlalchemy objects
attributes, instead treat return values as dicts
