Create util for root device path retrieval

blueprint snapshots-for-everyone

Create libvirt.utils.find_disk(virt_dom) function.
This function will retrieve disk path from instance configuration.
Will return path both for file and device backed instance root devices.
Will throw error in case, when device can't be found.

Add util for disk type retrieval

blueprint snapshots-for-everyone

Add libvirt.utils.get_disk_type that retrieves format
for given file. Format can be raw, qcow2, or lvm.

Add util for image conversion

blueprint snapshots-for-everyone

Add nova.virt.images.convert_image(source, dest, format)
that converts image to other format using qemu-img convert

Fixes bug Snapshotting LXC instance fails

Fixes bug 1058273.

The path of the disk for snapshotting LXC instance is debugged.
Also, virt_dom.managedSave(0) and self._create_domain(domain=virt_dom)
are not called for LXC instance, because they are supported by libvirt.

Implement snapshots for raw backend

blueprint snapshots-for-everyone

Use simple qemu-img convert for raw snapshots.
Polymorphically select snapshot behavior for
raw and qcow2.
Allow images to be constructed from actual device/file path.

Simplify libvirt snapshot code path

The "cold" snapshot code path was unnecessarily complex. We were
traversing 3 layers of abstraction to reach 3 lines of code. I've
completely eliminated snapshot.py by moving all "cold" snapshot
functions into imagebackend.py and adjusting the libvirt driver
accordingly. This is the first pass of several I intend to make
against imagebackend.py, as it is far too difficult to read given
how basic the basic level of functionality it is intended to
provide.

Properly write non-raw LVM images on creation

Fixes bug 1075333

When force_raw_images=False and libvirt_images_type=lvm were set
together, selecting anything other than a RAW image would result in
an unbootable instance. This is because the downloaded image was
being directly dd'd onto the new LVM root, which will obviously not
work for any format other than RAW.

Simple change to use qemu-img to read from the image (letting it
decide the format) and write to the LVM root as raw.

Libvirt: Implement snapshots for LVM-backed roots

Uses the built-in LVM snapshotting mechanism to create a new
snapshot, use qemu-img to extract the full root into an image file,
then delete the snapshot volume. Although we typically zero deleted
LVM volumes manually, this is not necessary for snapshots, as LVM
handles it for us (per the documentation).

Libvirt: Add support for live snapshots

blueprint libvirt-live-snapshots

Implements support for live snapshots when QEMU 1.3 and Libvirt
1.0.0 are available. This implementation may function with other
hypervisors, at which point _check_use_live_snapshots can be
adjusted accordingly.

At a high level, the process is as follows. First we create a
destination file for the snapshot. This file uses the same backing
file as the origin disk and is of the same virtual size. We do this
since the combination of blockRebase and "shallow" copies are the
only bug-free method available as of QEMU 1.3 (Vish has submitted
patches upstream). This process ultimately produces a CoW file,
representing only the current delta between the root disk and
backing file. The final step converts the CoW delta to a backless
image matching the format of the origin disk.
