Fix bug in import/export regarding some API params

Fix a bug where API params like CONFIG_URL or IMG_PASSWORD where
checked and used by scripts other that `create' (e.g. `import' and
`export'). This may lead to errors. The CONFIG_URL may not be valid
after the image creation

Allow /'s in local back-end IDs

Add extra code to check if the image path ends up being outside the
IMAGE_DIR directory

Add version check in snf-image-update-helper

Rename create-fixed helper script to create-helper

Rename snf-image-create-fixed-helper script to snf-image-create-helper.
Also remove the command that will create a tar archive of the helper
files under /tmp

Reorganize the helper image creation scripts

Move the old snf-image-update-helper to snf-image-create-fixed-helper
and make the new snf-image-update-helper download a fixed helper image
specified by the HELPER_URL variable.

Check for unsupported hypervisors

Remove dublicated code in {kvm,xen}-common.sh

Add check_helper_rc and check_helper_result functions called by
kvm-common.sh and xen-common.sh.

Make monitoring work with xen

• Add custom vif script for the helper VM
• Cleanup helper code

Add new XEN_BRIDGE variable.

This can be used to configure the bridge on which the helper's VM
nic will be attached when using XEN.

Change some default values

Change HELPER_SIZE to 600 and HELPER_SOFT_TIMEOUT to 120

Cleanup variables and ./configure options

Remove:
HELPER_CACHE_DIR
HELPER_IMG
HELPER_KERNEL
HELPER_INITRD
TIMELIMIT
Add:
TIMEOUT

In configure, remove:
--enable-network-backend
--with-helper-img
--with-helper-kernel
--with-helper-initrd

Code cleanup

Make sure local variables are defined as local before they get assigned.
Having variables get defined and assigned in one line like this:

local var=foo

can sometimes cause problems. For example, this line:

local var=$(false)

will return 0 and the script will not fail if set -x is defined.

Do not install a local helper package by default

snf-image-update-helper will only install a pkg retrieved from the
apt unless -p option is specified.

Add new version_consistency_check in configure

This can be used to enable or disable the version check between
snf-image-host and snf-image-helper at the end of the update-helper
script.

Add apt preferences dir for multistrap

The files hosted in this directory will be added in the
/etc/apt/preferences.d directory of the helper image before multistrap
runs.

Seperate error messages from monitoring messages

Do not send through the monitor pipe the error messages. They may
contain internal sensitive information. Create a new report_error
function for sending errors through the monitoring pipe.

Replace debootstrap with multistrap

multistrap is more flexible allows as to define more that one
repository to retrieve packages from.

Add IMAGE_DEBUG variable

if this is set, then snf-image will run in debug mode.

Add new config_url os parameter

• Privacy: We don't want the password to appear in the Ganeti config...

Add support for null image backend type

This backend type can be used if we want snf-image to configure the
VM disk without first copying an image to it. This is useful for
cases were the VM disk is already populated before snf-image runs.

Add stderr-monitor.py for monitoring stderr

This programm will get the stderr file as input and it will create a
json image-error msg

Remove redundant location field in error messages

A `{' was missing in the beginning of the json string of the message
with type `error'.

Add mechanism for monitoring snf-image events

copy. This utility outputs notifications to a named pipe. An external
program can get informed for the image deployment progress by reading
the notifications from this named pipe. The monitoring mechanism...

Add mechanism for using a custom unattend.xml

snf-image-helper by default uses it's own version of unattend.xml file,
but if UNATTEND variable is specified then it will use the one provided
by snf-image-host.

Create a package list file after every debootstrap

This file is used to check if the cache file contains every package
defined in HELPER_EXTRA_PKGS.

In update-helper ask before using a cache file

• If -y is not specified and a cache file is found, ask the user before
  using it.
• "Fix" the -c option's behaviour. With this commit, if -c is applied,
  the system will use the provided cache file if present and will do a...
