upgrade design: ensure-dirs before starting daemons

Align the automatic upgrade procedure with the manual upgrade
instructions and run ensure-dirs before starting the new daemons.
This is necessary, as only after ensuring that all needed directories
are present we can rely on the new daemons starting up cleanly....

design: support post-upgrade hooks

While the general policy for Ganeti is to just accept the situation
it finds after being upgraded from an older version, in some cases
additional actions might be necessary. So support a hook for doing
so.

Now that mandatory opcode fields are mandatory also on disk,

Change design to install to ${PREFIX}/lib/ganeti-${VERSION}
