This feature allows root administrators to define new roles and associate API
permissions to them.
A limited form of role-based access control for the CloudStack management server
API is provided through a properties file, commands.properties, embedded in the
WAR distribution. Therefore, customizing API permissions requires unpacking the
distribution and modifying this file consistently on all servers. The old system
also does not permit the specification of additional roles.

DB-Backed Dynamic Role Based API Access Checker for CloudStack brings following
changes, features and use-cases:
- Moves the API access definitions from commands.properties to the mgmt server DB
- Allows defining custom roles (such as a read-only ROOT admin) beyond the
current set of four (4) roles
- All roles will resolve to one of the four known roles types (Admin, Resource
Admin, Domain Admin and User) which maintains this association by requiring
all new defined roles to specify a role type.
- Allows changes to roles and API permissions per role at runtime including additions or
removal of roles and/or modifications of permissions, without the need
of restarting management server(s)
Upgrade/installation notes:
- The feature will be enabled by default for new installations, existing
deployments will continue to use the older static role based api access checker
with an option to enable this feature
- During fresh installation or upgrade, the upgrade paths will add four default
roles based on the four default role types
- For ease of migration, at the time of upgrade commands.properties will be used
to add existing set of permissions to the default roles. cloud.account
will have a new role_id column which will be populated based on default roles
as well
Dynamic-roles migration tool: scripts/util/migrate-dynamicroles.py
- Allows admins to migrate to the dynamic role based checker at a future date
- Performs a harder one-way migrate and update
- Migrates rules from existing commands.properties file into db and deprecates it
- Enables an internal hidden switch to enable dynamic role based checker feature

generateRandomPassword() is supposed to create root user passwords.
Right now it is only used on the guest VMs. The format of the passwords
it creates are of the form "random 3-character string with a lowercase
character, uppercase character, and a digit" + random n-character string
with only lowercase characters".
For whatever reason it was that we use generateRandomPassword() for
guest VM root user passwords(maybe more secure?) we should use the same
function for system VM root user passwords.

even the normal build is broken as reported by @koushik-das on dev list

In ConfigurationVo, changed the setter to do the encryption if required
like the getter. Called the setter in constructor as well.
Removed references of encryption check in different places.

However, for SSVM, the value from configuration server overrides the default in Config.java. Work around is to change in global properties.
Local testing, checking a fresh install has the above property false by default.

introduce 'RegionLevelVpc' as capability of 'Connectivity' service. Add
support for CreateVPCOffering to take the 'regionlevelvpc' as capability
of service 'connectivity'.
introduces new capability 'StretchedL2Subnet' for 'Connectivity'
service. Also add support to createNetworkOffering api to allow
StretchedL2Subnet capablity for the connectivity service.
adds check to ensure 'Connectivity' service provider supports
'StretchedL2Subnet' and 'RegionLevelVpc' capabilities when specified in
createNetworkOffering and createVpcOffering respectivley
enable ovs plug-in to support both StretchedL2Subnet and RegionLevelVpc
capabilities
make zone id optional parameter in createVpc, zone id can be null only
if vpc offfering supports region level VPC
in region level vpc, let the network/tier to be created in any zone of
the region
keep zoneid as required param for createVpc
skip external guest network guru if 'Connectivy' service is present in
network offering
fix build break in contrail manager
permit VM's to be created in different zone that in which network is
created if the network support streched L2 subnet
add integration tests for region level VPC
rebase to master

Also intoroduced one more global config parameter - api.servlet.endpoint (default value is "http://localhost:8080/client/api?"). The parameter defines API end point. Can be used by CS components/services deployed remotely, for sending CS API requests
Added filters while listing scoped configuration parameters.
Fixed: Some parameters are missing from UI settings tab because of missing scope entry in configuration table.
