Support Sheepdog instance disks for libvirt driver
Add support for Sheepdog instance disks (root, ephemeral, swap and config-drive) to libvirt driver. Sheepdog is already supported by QEMU and libvirt tools. Sheepdog is already a supported backend for glance images.

This blueprint needs to be reviewed, and approved. Basic comments, need more detail on how this would be used and configured, in this blueprint, so the documentation people are able to do their good work --johnthetubaguy

Sheepdog is a distributed storage system for QEMU block level devices. It supports snapshots, clones and thin-provisioning. [1]
Current work:
- I have a very-rough draft which supports booting from a glance image that already exists within the sheepdog cluster that nova is configured to communicate with (default: sheepdog:
image is deleted. The code for this is available on github. [2]

Removed from next, as next is now reserved for near misses from the last milestone --johnthetubagu

It doesn't seem like the code has ever made it up for review :( Feature Proposal Freeze means this must not land in juno, because it appears like the code is not all currently ready to be reviewed. To be able to merge in kilo, we would first need to merge a kilo spec. More details on the exact process will be available on the ML shortly. --johnthetubaguy 22nd August 2014
