Taking fast and efficient volume snapshots with XenServer (and your storage
provider)
A XenServer storage repository (SR) and virtual disk image (VDI) each have
UUIDs that are immutable.
This poses a problem for SAN snapshots, if you intend on mounting the
underlying snapshot SR alongside the source SR (duplicate UUIDs).
VMware has a solution for this called re-signaturing (so, in other words,
the snapshot UUIDs can be changed).
This PR only deals with the CloudStack side of things, but it works in
concert with a new XenServer storage manager created by CloudOps (this storage
manager enables re-signaturing of XenServer SR and VDI UUIDs).
I have written Marvin integration tests to go along with this, but cannot
yet check those into the CloudStack repo as they rely on SolidFire hardware.
If anyone would like to see these integration tests, please let me know.

Do not check for remaining volume snapshots before deleting a volume
snapshot that is supported by a back-end volume (only do this when deleting a
volume snapshot that is supported by a back-end snapshot)

When deleting a CloudStack volume that is tied to a SolidFire volume, only
delete the SolidFire volume if the CloudStack volume's volume snapshots (if
any) are all supported by SolidFire volumes (as opposed to any being supported
by SolidFire snapshots)

Improved exception handling
commit 7625e188d264633beaf30b1ca04779c1890d02f6
Author: Mike Tutkowski <mike.tutkow...@solidfire.com>

The way resigning metadata is invoked has changed. Call SR.create with type
RELVMOISCSI. An exception should be thrown when the time would otherwise have
come for the create functionality to attach the SR. Check if "success" is
returned. If so, invoke SR.introduce; else, re-throw the exception.

If the volume snapshot is backed by a SolidFire snapshot (as opposed to a
SolidFire volume), then add it to the list.
