This commit adds a additional VirtIO channel with the name
'org.qemu.guest_agent.0' to all Instances.
With the Qemu Guest Agent the Hypervisor gains more control over the Instance if
these tools are present inside the Instance, for example:
* Power control
* Flushing filesystems
* Fetching Network information
In the future this should allow safer snapshots on KVM since we can instruct the
Instance to flush the filesystems prior to snapshotting the disk.

Keep in mind that on Ubuntu AppArmor still needs to be disabled since the default
AppArmor profile doesn't allow libvirt to write into /var/lib/libvirt/qemu
This commit does not add any communication methods through API-calls, it merely
adds the channel to the Instances and installs the Guest Agent in the SSVMs.
With the addition of the Qemu Guest Agent channel a second channel appears in /dev
on a SSVM as a VirtIO port.
The order in which the ports are defined in the XML matters for the naming inside
the SSVM VM and by not relying on /dev/vportXX but looking for a static name the
SSVM still boots properly if the order in the XML definition is changed.
A SSVM with both ports attached will have something like this:
root@v-215-VM:~# ls -l /dev/virtio-ports
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 May 13 21:41 org.qemu.guest_agent.0 -> ../vport0p2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 May 13 21:41 v-215-VM.vport -> ../vport0p1
root@v-215-VM:~# ls -l /dev/vport*
crw------- 1 root root 251, 1 May 13 21:41 /dev/vport0p1
crw------- 1 root root 251, 2 May 13 21:41 /dev/vport0p2
root@v-215-VM:~#
In this case the SSVM port points to /dev/vport0p1, but if the order in the XML
is different it might point to /dev/vport0p2
By looking for a portname with a pre-defined pattern in /dev/virtio-ports we
do not rely on the order in the XML definition.

By adding a Random Number Generator device to Instances we can prevent
entropy starvation inside guest.
The default source is /dev/random on the host, but this can be configured
to another source when present, for example a hardware RNG.
When enabled it will add the following to the Instance's XML definition:
<rng model='virtio'>
<rate period='1000' bytes='2048' />
<backend model='random'>/dev/random</backend>
</rng>
If the Instance has the proper support, which most modern distributions have,
it will have a /dev/hwrng device which it can use for gathering entropy.

agent: Enable IPv6 connectivity for KVM Agent to Management ServerIPv4 is still preferred, so if the hostname of the Management Server
returns a A and AAAA-record the Agent will still connect to the
server over IPv4.
This situation will however allow to use a hostname which only has
a AAAA-record. In that case the Agent will connect to the Management
Server over IPv6.

The S3 implementation is far from finished, this commit focusses on the bases.
- Upgrade AWS SDK to latest version.
- Rewrite S3 Template downloader.
- Rewrite S3Utils utility class.
- Improve addImageStoreS3 API command.
- Split various classes for convenience.
- Various minor improvements and code optimalisations.
A side effect of the new AWS SDK is that it, by default, uses the V4 signature. Therefore I added an option to specify the Signer, so it stays compatible with previous versions.
With CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 16.04 (to be released) using systemd
it is preferred that CloudStack's Agent is also being started using
systemd.
This commit includes a service file for the CloudStack Agent with
a wrapper script which actually executes Java
It no longer uses jsvc for daemonizing and thus this requirement
has also been dropped for CentOS 7 packaging.
The Agent log output to stdout has also been modified to no longer
include the timestamp as this is done by journalctl.
This has been tested on a CentOS 7.1 machine and the Agent starts,
stops and restarts properly.
Implements a VM volume/disk file activity checker that checks if QCOW2 file
has been changed before starting the VM. This is useful as a pessimistic
approach to save VMs that were running on faulty hosts that CloudStack could
try to launch on other hosts while the host was not cleanly fenced. This is
optional and available only if you enable the settings in agent.properties
file, on per-host basis.

In init.d scripts, the LSB header may specify what kind of service is
provided by an init script. If spaces are used, this means the init
script is providing several boot facilities. We fix that by using an
hyphen.
