This enables support for PowerFlex/ScaleIO (v3.5 onwards) storage pool as a primary storage in CloudStack
Other improvements addressed in addition to PowerFlex/ScaleIO support:
- Added support for config drives in host cache for KVM
=> Changed configuration "vm.configdrive.primarypool.enabled" scope from Global to Zone level
=> Introduced new zone level configuration "vm.configdrive.force.host.cache.use" (default: false) to force host cache for config drives
=> Introduced new zone level configuration "vm.configdrive.use.host.cache.on.unsupported.pool" (default: true) to use host cache for config drives when storage pool doesn't support config drive
=> Added new parameter "host.cache.location" (default: /var/cache/cloud) in KVM agent.properties for specifying the host cache path and create config drives on the "/config" directory on the host cache path
=> Maintain the config drive location and use it when required on any config drive operation (migrate, delete)
- Detect virtual size from the template URL while registering direct download qcow2 (of KVM hypervisor) templates
- Updated full deployment destination for preparing the network(s) on VM start
- Propagate the direct download certificates uploaded to the newly added KVM hosts
- Discover the template size for direct download templates using any available host from the zones specified on template registration
=> When zones are not specified while registering template, template size discovery is performed using any available host, which is picked up randomly from one of the available zones
- Release the VM resources when VM is sync-ed to Stopped state on PowerReportMissing (after graceful period)
- Retry VM deployment/start when the host cannot grant access to volume/template
- Mark never-used or downloaded templates as Destroyed on deletion, without sending any DeleteCommand
=> Do not trigger any DeleteCommand for never-used or downloaded templates as these doesn't exist and cannot be deleted from the datastore
- Check the router filesystem is writable or not, before performing health checks
=> Introduce a new test "filesystem.writable.test" to check the filesystem is writable or not
=> The router health checks keeps the config info at "/var/cache/cloud" and updates the monitor results at "/root" for health checks, both are different partitions. So, test at both the locations.
=> Added new script: "filesystem_writable_check.py" at /opt/cloud/bin/ to check the filesystem is writable or not
- Fixed NPE issue, template is null for DATA disks. Copy template to target storage for ROOT disk (with template id), skip DATA disk(s)
* Addressed some issues for few operations on PowerFlex storage pool.
- Updated migration volume operation to sync the status and wait for migration to complete.
- Updated VM Snapshot naming, for uniqueness in ScaleIO volume name when more than one volume exists in the VM.
- Added sync lock while spooling managed storage template before volume creation from the template (non-direct download).
- Updated resize volume error message string.
- Blocked the below operations on PowerFlex storage pool:
-> Extract Volume
-> Create Snapshot for VMSnapshot
* Added the PowerFlex/ScaleIO client connection pool to manage the ScaleIO gateway clients, which uses a single gateway client per Powerflex/ScaleIO storage pool and renews it when the session token expires.
- The token is valid for 8 hours from the time it was created, unless there has been no activity for 10 minutes.

Other fixes included:
- Fail the VM deployment when the host specified in the deployVirtualMachine cmd is not in the right state (i.e. either Resource State is not Enabled or Status is not Up)
- Use the physical file size of the template to check the free space availability on the host, while downloading the direct download templates.
- Perform basic tests (for connectivity and file system) on router before updating the health check config data
=> Validate the basic tests (connectivity and file system check) on router
=> Cleanup the health check results when router is destroyed
* Updated PowerFlex/ScaleIO storage plugin version to 4.16.0.0
* UI Changes to support storage plugin for PowerFlex/ScaleIO storage pool.
- PowerFlex pool URL generated from the UI inputs(Gateway, Username, Password, Storage Pool) when adding "PowerFlex" Primary Storage
- Updated protocol to "custom" for PowerFlex provider
- Allow VM Snapshot for stopped VM on KVM hypervisor and PowerFlex/ScaleIO storage pool
and Minor improvements in PowerFlex/ScaleIO storage plugin code
* Added support for PowerFlex/ScaleIO volume migration across different PowerFlex storage instances.
- findStoragePoolsForMigration API returns PowerFlex pool(s) of different instance as suitable pool(s), for volume(s) on PowerFlex storage pool.
- Volume(s) with snapshots are not allowed to migrate to different PowerFlex instance.
- Volume(s) of running VM are not allowed to migrate to other PowerFlex storage pools.
- Volume migration from PowerFlex pool to Non-PowerFlex pool, and vice versa are not supported.
* Fixed change service offering smoke tests in test_service_offerings.py, test_vm_snapshots.py
* Added the PowerFlex/ScaleIO volume/snapshot name to the paths of respective CloudStack resources (Templates, Volumes, Snapshots and VM Snapshots)
* Added new response parameter “supportsStorageSnapshot” (true/false) to volume response, and Updated UI to hide the async backup option while taking snapshot for volume(s) with storage snapshot support.
* Fix to remove the duplicate zone wide pools listed while finding storage pools for migration
* Updated PowerFlex/ScaleIO volume migration checks and rollback migration on failure
* Fixed the PowerFlex/ScaleIO volume name inconsistency issue in the volume path after migration, due to rename failure
- Fixes inter-cluster migration of VMs
- Allows migration of stopped VM with disks attached to different and suitable pools
- Improves inter-cluster detached volume migration
- Allows inter-cluster migration (clusters of same Pod) for system VMs, VRs on VMware
- Allows storage migration for stopped system VMs, VRs on VMware within same Pod if StoragePool cluster scopetype

This PR fixes an issue when move a vm from an account to another account.
Steps to reproduce the issue
(1) create a vm with multiple shared networks (in advanced zone, or advanced zone with security groups)
(2) create another account (in same domain who can also access the shared networks)
(3) move vm to new account, with a list of networkid
expected result: the vm has nics on the networks in same order as specified in API request, and nics have the same ips as before actual result: network order is not same as specified, ips are changed.
For Basic network isolation methods are not provided, and exception is
thrown when trying to encode the Vlan id. That's why we have to check
before encoding that the list with isolation methods is not empty
* support for handling incremental snaps (on DB entries) on xen
* Addressed comments
* Update NfsSecondaryStorageResource.java

After a vm is shutdown, the power state isn't updated immediately. This prevents changing the service offering.
This PR updates the power state immediately after the vm is confirmed to be shutdown.
Fixes: #3159
While remove secondary nic from a Running vm, if update the default nic to the secondary nic before the nic is removed, the vm will not have default nic (and cannot be started) when both operations are completed.
It is because UpdateDefaultNic api is not handled as a vm work job (AddNicToVMCmd and RemoveNicFromVMCmd are), it is processed before nic is removed. The result is that secondary nic becomes default nic and got removed.
* engine: honour bypass VLAN id/range for L2 networks
Commit e894238d904a9c49c1140371f612a51d251efc1 (#3899) allowed private
gateways to bypass vlan check while refactoring it did not cover the
case for L2 but only shared network. This fix will re-enable honouring
the bypass vlan check option for L2 guest network (in addition to the
Shared networks).

* Update NetworkOrchestrator.java
This is an extention of #3732 for kvm.
This is restricted to ovs > 2.9.2
Since Xen uses ovs 2.6, pvlan is unsupported.
This also fixes issues of vms on the same pvlan unable to communicate if they're on the same host
