Use GlusterFS as a volume backend

Currently Cinder allows use of an NFS export to host volume data. This blueprint aims to enable support for GlusterFS to be used the same way that NFS is used. Like the NFS driver, it supports basic volume operations, but not snapshots or clones.

This means introducing a new Cinder GlusterFS Driver, and Nova support for mounting it. Since the semantics of using Gluster are similar to NFS, the current plan is to have a base "Remote FS" driver class that both NFS and GlusterFS drivers can use to share some common code.
