Hyper-V RDP console access
Hyper-V, unlike the majority of the hypervisors employed on Nova compute nodes, uses RDP instead of VNC as a desktop sharing protocol to provide instance console access, which means that novnc / xvpvnc are not a viable options for providing console connections to Hyper-V hosted instances.
Goals:
1) Add Hyper-V RDP console access support to Openstack
2) From a user perspective, console access should be handled in a way as consistent as possible between hypervisors.

Adds support for Nova RDP console
[2013-09-03 | Gabriel] According to russelb the Nova side of this is incredibly unlikely to land in Havana, so the Horizon side obviously can't land yet either.
[david-lyle 11.19.2013] nova bp this depends on is slated for i-2, so moving out past that.
[2014-1-27 david-lyle] Removing from i-3 as nova bp is slated for i-3, novaclient bp not targeted. If things align we can move back in.
