Rick Harris 216a83da47 Add ability to download images via BitTorrent. 
This patch adds a new dom0 plugin which supports downloading images via
BitTorrent. Torrent metadata files are assumed to be served from a
webserver which is specified by the `torrent_base_url` config.

Under the hood, the dom0 plugins calls out to rasterbar's libtorrent via
Python bindings in order perform the initial download as well as the
seeding thereafter.

Implements BP xenserver-bittorrent-images

README 

This directory contains files that are required for the XenAPI support.
They should be installed in the XenServer / Xen Cloud Platform dom0.

If you install them manually, you will need to ensure that the newly
added files are executable. You can do this by running the following
command (from dom0):

chmod a+x /etc/xapi.d/plugins/*

Otherwise, you can build an rpm as detailed in:

$NOVA_ROOT/plugins/xenserver/xenapi/contrib/

and install the rpm by running the following command (from dom0):

rpm -i openstack-xen-plugins.rpm
