Add "reboot_behavior" hypervisor flag

During instance installations, you do not want the instance to reboot
and start again with the same parameters, as that will most likely
re-start the install process. Therefore, when the instance requests a
reboot it should instead shutdown. This flag allows this to be...

Add gnt-instance start --pause

Creates the instance, but pauses execution before booting. This combined
with 'gnt-instance console' unpausing instances means that the entire
boot process can be viewed and monitored.

Add --no-wait-for-sync when converting to drbd

Currently, when converting an instance from plain to DRBD, the

DRBD sync has started, without waiting for the entire sync. This makes...

This patch introduces the option of changing an instance's nodes when
