Fix QA and documentation about no initrd case

In Ganeti 1.2, “none” was used to signify no initrd. In 2.0 we have
changed to “no_” as a prefix (i.e. “-H no_initrd_path”) and thus we
document in the manpage this.

The QA suite is changed accordingly.

Inform the OS create script of reinstalls

Sometimes reinstalls are slightly different than new installs. For

Allow gnt-debug submit-job to take multiple args

Currently “gnt-debug submit-job” takes a single argument and has
non-trivial startup-costs; in order to exercise the job system, it is
better to be able to submit multiple jobs with a single invocation of
the script....

Remove the extra_args parameter in instance start

This patch removes the extra_args parameter and instead switches the
instance to the HV_KERNEL_ARGS hypervisor option.

This is a big change, but it's a needed cleanup, this extra parameter on
all RPC calls is not generic and we also need to have a persistent value...
