Add functions for atomic operations on files

Function 'atomicUpdateFile' extends 'atomicWriteFile' that allows any
action to be run on a temporary file.

Function 'atomicUpdateLockedFile' additionally locks the original file
using flock and checks if its state conforms to the last one....

Catch errors in 'lockFile' in Ganeti.Utils

Opening a file can fail as well, so catch errors there too.

Reinstantiate inotify after a lost file

When watching a file, reinstantiate the inotify if notified
of an event that removes the watch. Such events are likely
to happen, as our usual way to "modify" a file is to atomically
replace it by another one.

Fix race in watchFile

As the calling of watchFile and the evaluation of the initial
getFStatSafe takes non-zero time, the file could have changed
before inotify was set up properly. Solve this problem by an
additional check for the watched value to have changed immediately...

Add a generic function capable of watching a file

Add a method to return the new value of a function if it changes within

that the function only changes, if the specified file changes on disk....

Add a safe version of getFStat

The function getFStat causes an IOError if the file to be stated does
not exist. In some cases, however, the only thing we care about is whether
it has changed, with disappearing being a legitimate change. So add a wrapper
that catches the IOError and returns nullFStat....

Add a new unit parsing function taking all suffixes binary

In python, when parsing units (like disk sizes) we take all
suffixes (M, G, T) as 1024-based. To be backwards compatible
while moving to job management to luxid, in particular on RAPI,
add such a parsing function in haskell as well....
