We separate all the provisioning bits to diskbackend.py. VirtualDisk
users now need to explicitly opt in to storage creation by using
set_create_storage().
validation is no longer done automatically, users must call the
validation() command.
__init__ drops all extra parameters.
This will eventually get us to a point where we can unify the manual
XML building and XML parsing machinery, and get consistent validation
behavior between devices.
It's kind of needy to be doing a pool.refresh every 3 seconds, and really
I'm fine with telling people they have to close and reopen the wizard to
get up2date host size reporting.
The goal here is to reduce the amount of tick() polling that we do by default.
For things like pools, networks, and interfaces, the constant polling is
not very helpful and causes CPU churn and slowness for remote connections.
Switch to a more on demand style. Pages that want new information for
these objects now request a priority tick that only refreshes the info
we want.
This isn't perfect, but neither was the previous solution in the face of
things like XML updates behind our back. The real solution here is libvirt
event support across the board.
This base connection object will be used to simplify the API in various
places, reduce libvirt API calls, and better share code between virtinst
and virt-manager. For now it just centralizes connection opening.
This also exposed various places where our handling for older libvirt
was busted, so raise our minimum host version to 0.6.0, the first
version that supports threaded client requests.
When Virtio SCSI disk was added to machine with default-model SCSI
controller, the new Virtio SCSI controller had the same index as the
default one (so the domain wouldn't start or with newer libvirt even
define).

When there are multiple usb devices with same vendor/product
in the host device list, the bus/addr is going to be used when
attaching one of usb devices.
Currently is_dup flag is only useful to VirtualHostDeviceUSB.
I put get_nodedevs_number() in connection.py, so the startup
hooks can use it.
Despite being a known quantity, autotools is so overkill for our needs,
so let's drop it and replace it with a much simpler and easy to customize
system.
