This PR introduces the minimal changes to add a new hypervisor type (internally named Custom in the codebase, and configurable display name), allowing to write an external hypervisor plugin as a Custom Hypervisor to CloudStack
The custom hypervisor name is set by the setting: 'hypervisor.custom.display.name'. The new hypervisor type does not affect the behaviour of any CloudStack operation, it simply introduces a new hypervisor type into the system.
CloudStack does not have any means to dynamically add new hypervisor types. The hypervisor types are internally preset by an enum defined within the CloudStack codebase and unless a new version supports a new hypervisor it is not possible to add a host of a hypervisor that is not in part of the enum. It is possible to implement minimal changes in CloudStack to support a new hypervisor plugin that may be developed privately
This PR is an initial work on allowing new dynamic hypervisor types (adds a new element to the HypervisorType enum, but allows variable display name for the hypervisor)
Replace the HypervisorType from a fixed enum to an extensible registry mechanism, registered from the hypervisor plugin
- The new hypervisor type is internally named 'Custom' to the CloudStack services (management server and agent services, database records).
- A new global setting ‘hypervisor.custom.display.name’ allows administrators to set the display name of the hypervisor type. The display name will be shown in the CloudStack UI and API.
- In case the ‘hypervisor.list’ setting contains the display name of the new hypervisor type, the setting value is automatically updated after the ‘hypervisor.custom.display.name’ setting is updated.
- The new Custom hypervisor type supports:
- Direct downloads (the ability to download templates into primary storage from the hypervisor hosts without using secondary storage)
- Local storage (use hypervisor hosts local storage as primary storage)
- Template format: RAW format (the templates to be registered on the new hypervisor type must be in RAW format)
- The UI is also extended to display the new hypervisor type and the supported features listed above.
- The above are the minimal changes for CloudStack to support the new hypervisor type, which can be tested by integrating the plugin codebase with this feature.
This PR allows the cloud administrators to test custom hypervisor plugins implementations in CloudStack and easily integrate it into CloudStack as a new hypervisor type ("Custom"), reducing the implementation to only the hypervisor supported specific storage/networking and the hypervisor resource to communicate with the management server.
- CloudStack admin should be able to create a zone for the new custom hypervisor and add clusters, hosts into the zone with normal operations
- CloudStack users should be able to execute normal VMs/volumes/network/storage operations on VMs/volumes running on the custom hypervisor hosts
(cherry picked from commit 8b5ba13b81)

Inclusivity changes for CloudStack
- Change default git branch name from 'master' to 'main' (post renaming/changing default git branch to 'main' in git repo)
- Rename some offensive words/terms as appropriate for inclusiveness.
This PR updates the default git branch to 'main', as part of #4887.

This PR addresses an error that appears when you try to add a new host. I don't even understand why there was a cast to String in the first place. I will assume some classes send HypervisorType and some send a string (empty or otherwise). Shouldn't this be addressed to use the same type everywhere? With this fix adding a new xenserver host works fine.

* CLOUDSTACK-8855 Improve Error Message for Host Alert State
* [CLOUDSTACK-9846] create column to save the content of alert messages
Remove declaration of throws CloudRuntimeException
I also removed some unused variables and comments left behind
This closes#837
* Isolate a problematic test "smoke/test_certauthority_root"
This fixes move refactoring error introduced in #2283
For instance, the class DatadiskTO is supposed to be in com.cloud.agent.api.to package. However, the folder structure it was placed in is com.cloud.agent.api.api.to.
Skip tests for cloud-plugin-hypervisor-ovm3:
For some unknown reason, there are quite a lot of broken test cases for cloud-plugin-hypervisor-ovm3. They might have appeared after some dependency upgrade and was overlooked by the person updating them. I checked them to see if they could be fixed, but these tests are not developed in a clear and clean manner. On top of that, we do not see (at least I) people using OVM3-hypervisor with ACS. Therefore, I decided to skip them.
Identention corrected to use spaces instead of tabs in XML files
Remove maven standard module (which only a few were using) and get ride of maven customization for the projects structure.
- moved all directories to src/main/java, src/main/resources, src/main/scripts, src/test/java, src/test/resources
- grep scan to search for src/com and src/org left over
- grep for <project>/scripts to fix pom.xml configuration
- remove custom <build> configuration in pom.xml
