Consolidate FS-style libvirt drivers

Registered by Matt Riedemann

The NFS, GlusterFS, SMBFS, and Quobyte libvirt volume drivers are all very similar.

I want to extract a common base class that abstracts some of the common code and then let the sub-classes provide overrides where necessary.

There is a *mount_point_base option per libvirt FS driver and it would be nice to consolidate those into a single option but that's not possible given that cinder can be configured to have multiple volume backends, so nova-compute must also be configurable to talk to those different backends.

As part of this work, move the volume-specific stuff under nova/virt/libvirt/ to a nova/virt/libvirt/volume subdirectory.

I checked the os-brick change [1] proposed to nova to see if there would be any conflicts there and so far that's not touching any of these classes so seems like they could be worked in parallel.
