Title: Add Scality SRB driver

This patch implements the `srb-driver` blueprint. It uses a similar
approach as Ceph's RBD in the way it exposes a block device to the
system.

The driver controls the SRB Linux kernel driver through a sysfs
interface and leverages LVM for snapshot management. The native block
driver talks to Scality's storage system (or any other vendor exposing
a compatible CDMI interface) through a HTTP-based RESTful protocol.

iSCSI export to Nova is provided.

Driver cert results are provided in bug #1400327.
