[WIP] Support for pickling Driver instances and other Libcloud objects
This pull request adds support for pickling Driver instances (e.g.
`NodeDriver`) and support for pickling other Libcloud objects which hold
reference to the driver instance (e.g. `Node`, `DNSRecord`, etc.).
Pickling doesn't work out of the box for NodeDriver and other objects since
a driver contains a reference to the `Connection` class instance which contains
many unpicklable types.
To work around this limitation, we don't pickle the `Connection` class
instance, but we just pickle arguments which are needed to re-build / re-create
the Connection instance and we re-create the instance when unpickling the
object.
