Adds a new flag to VM metadata to allow setting the VM live migration
max downtime. This will enable very busy VMs that hang live migration to
have this value changed.
Major improvements to autobackup and backups, including additional
information/fields in the backup JSON itself, improved error handling,
and the ability to email reports of autobackups using a local sendmail
utility.
Adds additional information about failures, runtime, file sizes, etc. to
the JSON output of a VM backup.
This helps enable additional reporting and summary information for
autobackup runs.
This helps ensure an easier restore as the tar archive(s) can be sent
directly to the API via the normal process of image uploading, instead
of individual disks.
Solves two problems:
1. How match fuzziness was used was very inconsistent; make them all the
same, i.e. "if is_fuzzy and limit, apply .* to both sides".
2. Use re.fullmatch instead of re.match to ensure exact matching of the
regex to the value. Without fuzziness, this would sometimes cause
inconsistent behavior, for instance if a limit was non-fuzzy "vm",
expecting to match the actual "vm", but also matching "vm1" too.
Instead of requiring the VM to already be stopped, instead allow disable
state changes to perform a shutdown first. Also add a force option which
will do a hard stop instead of a shutdown.

When using the "state", "node", or "tag" arguments to a VM list, add
support for a "negate" flag to look for all VMs *not in* the state,
node, or tag state.
Ensures that a VM won't:
(a) Have provisioned more RAM than there is available on a given node.
Due to memory overprovisioning, this is simply a "is the VM memory count
more than the node count", and doesn't factor in free or used memory on
a node, total cluster usage, etc. So if a node has 64GB total RAM, the
VM limit is 64GB. It is up to an administrator to ensure sanity *below*
that value.
(b) Have provisioned more vCPUs than there are CPU cores on the node,
minus 2 to account for hypervisor/storage processes. Will ensure there
is no severe CPU contention caused by a single VM having more vCPUs than
there are actual execution threads available.
Closes#139
Adds a new API endpoint to support hot attach/detach of devices, and the
corresponding client-side logic to use this endpoint when doing VM
network/storage add/remove actions.
The live attach is now the default behaviour for these types of
additions and removals, and can be disabled if needed.
Closes#141
Add an additional protected class, limit manipulation to one at a time,
and ensure future flexibility. Also makes display consistent with other
VM elements.
