Paul Angus 033199972e systemvm: improve SystemVM startup and memory usage (#3126 )

In order to reduce memory footprint and improve boot speed/predictability.
The following changes have been made:

- add vm.min_free_kbytes to sysctl
- periodically clear disk cache (depending on memory size)
- only start guest services specific to hypervisor
- use systemvm code to determine hypervisor type (not systemd)
- start cloud service at end of post init rather than through systemd
- reduce initial threads started for httpd
- fix vmtools config file

Fixes #3039

Introduction

This is used to build appliances for use with CloudStack. Currently two build profiles are available for building systemvmtemplate (Debian based) and CentOS based built-in user VM template.

Setting up Tools and Environment

Install packer and latest KVM, qemu on a Linux machine
Install tools for exporting appliances: qemu-img, ovftool, faketime

Build and install vhd-util as described in build.sh or use pre-built binaries at:

http://packages.shapeblue.com/systemvmtemplate/vhd-util
http://packages.shapeblue.com/systemvmtemplate/libvhd.so.1.0

How to build appliances

Just run build.sh, it will export archived appliances for KVM, XenServer, VMWare and HyperV in dist directory:

bash build.sh systemvmtemplate
bash build.sh builtin
