Description
Implement the <personality> element in POST /servers OpenStack Compute API requests, to allow the users to upload arbitrary files for injection into VMs on server creation.
Investigate ways of passing the names and contents of these files to the Synnefo-specific Ganeti OS provider
(e.g., pickle, JSON dicts).

Pass personality in osparams instead of beparams
Use 'img_personality' key inside osparams.
The format remains the same as before and follows OpenStack:
{{{
[{'path': '/path/to/file1', 'contents': 'base64-contents1'}, {'path': '/path/to/file2', 'contents': 'base64-contents2'}]
}}}
