------------

* Replace accumulative projects with pool projects:

  * Projects are now viewed as a source of finite resources. A member can

    reserve a part of these resources up to a specified limit.

  * Base quota are now offered through a special purpose user-specific base

    project, identified with the same UUID as the user.

  * Each actual resource (Cyclades VM, network, floating IP and Pithos

    container) is now also associated with a project besides the owner.

  * In resource creation, project defaults to the user-specific base

    project, if not specified otherwise. It is also possible to change the

    project assignment of an existing resource.

  * All existing resources have been assigned to the respective

    user-specific base projects.

-------

* Decouple projects from applications:

  * Support project creation (by the system) and modification (by a

    privileged user) without the need to submit/approve an application.

  * View applications as modifications. When a project is uninitialized

    (e.g. an application for a new project is pending), no further

    modification is allowed.

  * Applications are removed from the API. A project's last application is

    only accessible as part of the project details.

  * Decouple project state from application state; they can be combined by

    an API client, if needed.

* Changes concerning quota and pool projects:

  * A project must provide limits for all registered resources. On project

    activation, resources missing are automatically completed using a

    skeleton.

  * Field `uplimit' of registed resources is exposed as `base_default' and

    provide the skeleton for user-specific base projects. A new field

    `project_default' is introduce to act as a skeleton for conventional

    projects.

  * The quotaholder now also records project quota besides user quota. The

    two types of holders are distinguished with a prefix: `user:' and

    `project:'.

  * The quota API is extended to make project quota available.

* Projects can be set `private', making it accessible only to its owner and

  members.
