We need to split the delvm monitor command, like savevm, to delete snapshot onlinefor each volume (qcow2,sheepdog,rbd)

This help migrate for vm with of lot of memory access (like database)
live migration tests working:
kvm 1.2 -> kvm 1.2 (xbzrle set on both side)
kvm 1.1 -> kvm 1.2 (xbzrle on target)
kvm 1.1 -> kvm 1.1 (xbzrle not set, qmp command try to set xbzrle but fail)
failing migration
kvm 1.2 -> kvm 1.1 fail, but this is expected.
I tested with a memory benchmark running on the vm with 4GB ram
without xbzrle : migration take 10min, with many network hang
with xbzrle : migration take 1min, no hang
I display xbzrle counters for debug purpose, we can remove them later

It could be useful for windows7 and windows2008 , as they are no more classic lsi driver for these platform

to be sure that kvm process is killed (but it should kill itself),
and deactivate volumes
I slightly modified this patch (orig. from Alexandre) so that it apply cleanly.
this call storage plugin resize first.
storage plugin will
return undef if we don't need to call qmp block_resize
or
return 1 if we need to call qmp block_resize

We now store the size when we create a drive. This is just a hint, but
good enough to display on the GUI. We can now avoid to query the storage in
vmstatus().
This add the new virtio-scsi controller support.
http://wiki.qemu.org/Features/VirtioSCSI
Guest need kernel >= 3.4 to support. Windows drivers are also available in last virtio-win
Advantages :
- true scsi controller.(like lsi but a lot faster, around 5% slower than virtio-blk)
- multiples disk by controller (256 for now)
- scsi passthrough
- discard support (great for ssd or thinp storages)
- bootable
Hotplug is not yet available in 1.1. (already available in git)
to define lsi or virtio-scsi-pci controller for scsi disk:
scsihw: lsi|virtio-scsi-pci
default is lsi if not defined.
A megasas controller is comming form qemu 1.2, so we'll able to simply add it in the list of scsi controllers
lsi0 and lsi1 controllers have been renamed to generic scsihw0 and scsihw1,
so we can use them for both lsi or virtio-scsi controller type. (and use same pci slot addr).

Currently we only find a volume size by using qemu-img info (in file_size_info).
This doesn't works with "virtual" storage like sheepdog,rbd,iscsidirect,nexenta.
This also doesn't work with classic iscsi direct plugin.
So, we need to define a method for each plugin.
