The first PR(#1176) intended to solve #CLOUDSTACK-9025 was only tackling the problem for CloudStack deployments that use single hypervisor types (restricted to XenServer). Additionally, the lack of information regarding that solution (poor documentation, test cases and description in PRs and Jira ticket) led the code to be removed in #1124 after a long discussion and analysis in #1056. That piece of code seemed logicless (and it was!). It would receive a hostId and then change that hostId for other hostId of the zone without doing any check; it was not even checking the hypervisor and storage in which the host was plugged into.
The problem reported in #CLOUDSTACK-9025 is caused by partial snapshots that are taken in XenServer. This means, we do not take a complete snapshot, but a partial one that contains only the modified data. This requires rebuilding the VHD hierarchy when creating a template out of the snapshot. The point is that the first hostId received is not a hostId, but a system VM ID(SSVM). That is why the code in #1176 fixed the problem for some deployment scenarios, but would cause problems for scenarios where we have multiple hypervisors in the same zone. We need to execute the creation of the VHD that represents the template in the hypervisor, so the VHD chain can be built using the parent links.
This commit changes the method com.cloud.hypervisor.XenServerGuru.getCommandHostDelegation(long, Command). From now on we replace the hostId that is intended to execute the “copy command” that will create the VHD of the template according to some conditions that were already in place. The idea is that starting with XenServer 6.2.0 hotFix ESP1004 we need to execute the command in the hypervisor host and not from the SSVM. Moreover, the method was improved making it readable and understandable; it was also created test cases assuring that from XenServer 6.2.0 hotFix ESP1004 and upward versions we change the hostId that will be used to execute the “copy command”.
Furthermore, we are not selecting a random host from a zone anymore. A new method was introduced in the HostDao called “findHostConnectedToSnapshotStoragePoolToExecuteCommand”, using this method we look for a host that is in the cluster that is using the storage pool where the volume from which the Snaphost is taken of. By doing this, we guarantee that the host that is connected to the primary storage where all of the snapshots parent VHDs are stored is used to create the template.
Consider using Disabled hosts when no Enabled hosts are found

This is a plugin that puts in ovm3 support ranging from 3.3.1 to 3.3.2. Basic
functionality is in here, advanced networking etc..
Snapshots only work when a VM is stopped now due to the semantics of OVM's raw
image implementation (so snapshots should work on a storage level underneath the
hypervisor shrug)
This closes#113

Entities correlated to the Identity and carry a uuid and those
correlated to InternalIdentity carry an id. Those entities that carry
both will correlated to Identity and InternalIdentity.
This refactors entities wherever possible to ensure the VO only
implements the first class entity.

Support for up to 16 VDIs per VM on XS 6.0 and above (16 VDIs => root + cd + 14 data volumes). Currently in CS number of data disk that can be attached to VM is hard-coded to 6. Made this setting configurable by moving it to hypervisor capabilities. Although XS 6.0 and above supports upto 16 VDIs but while testing on XS 6.0.2 found that only 13 data volumes can be attached to a VM. So for XS 6.0 and 6.0.2 max_data_volumes_limit is set to 13 currently.

Changes:
- Adding a new table 'hypervisor_capabilities' that will record capabilities for each hypervisor version. Added db schema changes for this.
- Currently a few capabilities have been added, namely, 'max_guests_limit' and 'security_group_enabled'
- Added a new column 'hypervisor_version' to host table. StartupRouting command now takes in this parameter. It should be set when a host connects.
- If a host's hypervisor version is not present, we find all the capabilities rows for that hypervisor type and use the first record.
- 'max_guests_limit' is the maximum number of running guest Vms that a host can have for the given hypervisor.
- Host Allocators use this limit and skip a host if the number of running VMs on that host exceeds this limit.
