Rick Harris 45f8aefcd3 Remove VDI chain limit for snapshots.
Snapshots and migrations were coded with a simplifying assumption that
the maximum length of a VDI chain would be 3. Now that fast-cloning has
been added, this assumption no longer holds.

The goal of this patch is to remove the restriction for snapshots. A
follow-on patch will remove the restriction for migrations.

This patch changes the image-format for XenAPI images. Instead of naming
the VHDs, 'base', 'image', and 'snap', they are now numbered staring
with 0 as the leaf and going to N as the base-copy (root).

Old-style images are still supported.

This directory contains files that are required for the XenAPI support.
They should be installed in the XenServer / Xen Cloud Platform dom0.

If you install them manually, you will need to ensure that the newly
added files are executable. You can do this by running the following
command (from dom0):

chmod a+x /etc/xapi.d/plugins/*

Otherwise, you can build an rpm as detailed in:

$NOVA_ROOT/plugins/xenserver/xenapi/contrib/

and install the rpm by running the following command (from dom0):

rpm -i openstack-xen-plugins.rpm
