Doing so can create an image that is 1 sector (512 bytes) too large,
which will then break qemu-img because it's stupid (or, VMDK is stupid,
I haven't decided which is).. Current Ceph rbd commands seem to accept
--size in bytes so this is fine.
Ensure all API return messages are formated the same: no "error", a
final period except when displaying Exception text, and a regular spaced
out format.
Finishes a basic form of OVA provisioning within the existing create_vm
function. Future plans should include separating out the functions and
cleaning them up a bit more, but this is sufficient for basic operation.
Closes#71
Add functions for uploading, listing, and removing OVA images to the API
and CLI interfaces. Includes improved parsing of the OVF and creation of
a system_template and profile for each OVA.
Also modifies some behaviour around profiles, making most components
option at creation to support both profile types (and incomplete
profiles generally).
Implementation part 2/3 - remaining: OVA VM creation

Add management of the pvcprov database with SQLAlchemy, to allow
seamless management of the database. Add automatic tasks to the postinst
of the API to execute these migrations.
Allow the user to specify other, non-raw files and upload them,
performing a conversion with qemu-img convert and a temporary block
device as a shim (since qemu-img can't use FIFOs).
Also ensures that the target volume exists before proceeding.
Addresses #68
Rename "pvcd" to "pvcnoded", and "pvc-api" to "pvcapid" so names for the
daemons are fully consistent. Update the names of the configuration
files as well to match this new formatting.
