Cleanup XenAPI related devstack code
The XenAPI specific devstack code contains some outdated/non-used elements, and it is not self documenting. Lot of users are experiencing problems, when trying to get a stack up and running. The aim of this blueprint is to revisit that code, and clean up.

Whiteboard
Some issues that were identified:
- localrc is used as a placeholder for all the variables
- global variables used all over the script
- non-used code fragments
- network configuration is not flexible enough (if you change the network config, you need to do some manual cleanup steps)
- static IP configuration is broken
- internal XenAPI interface does not seem to be used
Thinking about the steps:
- Dom0 modifications (plugins, symlinks, ssh keys)
- Hypervisor configuration (create networks if needed)
- OSVM installation - setup a clean JeOS using installer network and installer config => OSVM-RAW
- OSVM modification - modify the JeOS filesystem: inject drivers, and driver installer script => OSVM-TOOLED
- OSVM modification - add network cards, inject network configuration => OSVM-STACK
- log in to OSVM-STACK, and run devstack
