XenAPI: get_info was very expensive

Getting the whole VM record is expensive and slowed down Tempest tests
significantly.  Replaced with getting each required item.

When getting power state, only need that specific value, so reduce the
calls to get_info too.

XenAPI: Tidy calls to get_all_ref_and_rec

get_all_records is more efficient than getting them individually in the
old get_all_ref_and_rec implementation.

Replaced some cases of get_all_records with a faster and more
specific API call.

XenAPI: Speedup get_vhd_parent_uuid

In many cases the VDI record has already been retrieved.
Use it rather than expensively getting a new VDI record from XAPI.

XenAPI: Use get_VALUE in preference to get_record()['VALUE']

Replaces calls to get_record where only a single item is retrieved
from the record with the specific get_VALUE call.

XenAPI: Monitor the GC when coalescing

Add a new host plugin to monitor whether the garbage collector is running.
This is then used by the wait_for_vhd_coalesce function to know whether
waiting any more is likely to produce the expected results.

Increased the number of times we loop waiting for coalesce as the loop
now has knowledge that something is still happening.

XenAPI: Use direct IO for writing config drive

If you don't use direct IO when writing to the device, the unplug
immediately following this may not succeed as the device may still
be in use.

Also add a sync to ensure the device is not being used at the point
of unplug.

XenAPI: Allow use of clone_vdi on all SR types

All XenServer SR types support VDI.clone - even if they perform
an internal VDI.copy.  Always use the clone function if COW is
enabled.
