This PR adds the capability in CloudStack to convert VMware Instances disk(s) to KVM using virt-v2v and import them as CloudStack instances. It enables CloudStack operators to import VMware instances from vSphere into a KVM cluster managed by CloudStack. vSphere/VMware setup might be managed by CloudStack or be a standalone setup.
CloudStack will let the administrator select a VM from an existing VMware vCenter in the CloudStack environment or external vCenter requesting vCenter IP, Datacenter name and credentials.
The migrated VM will be imported as a KVM instance
The migration is done through virt-v2v: https://access.redhat.com/articles/1351473, https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/virt/virt-v2v-integration.html
The migration process timeout can be set by the setting convert.instance.process.timeout
Before attempting the virt-v2v migration, CloudStack will create a clone of the source VM on VMware. The clone VM will be removed after the registration process finishes.
CloudStack will delegate the migration action to a KVM host and the host will attempt to migrate the VM invoking virt-v2v. In case the guest OS is not supported then CloudStack will handle the error operation as a failure
The migration process using virt-v2v may not be a fast process
CloudStack will not perform any check about the guest OS compatibility for the virt-v2v library as indicated on: https://access.redhat.com/articles/1351473.

Extending the current functionality of KVM Host HA for the StorPool storage plugin and the option for easy integration for the rest of the storage plugins to support Host HA
This extension works like the current NFS storage implementation. It allows it to be used simultaneously with NFS and StorPool storage or only with StorPool primary storage.
If it is used with different primary storages like NFS and StorPool, and one of the health checks fails for storage, there is an option to report the failure to the management with the global config kvm.ha.fence.on.storage.heartbeat.failure. By default this option is disabled when enabled the Host HA service will continue with the checks on the host and eventually will fence the host
This PR allows an admin to reserve some hypervisor host CPUs for system use. Another way to think of it is limiting the number of CPUs allocatable to VMs. This can be useful if the admin wants to do other things with the hypervisor's CPU, for example reserve some cores for running hyperconverged storage processes.
