2a151699f1 esx: Improve error reporting for failed tasks
Instead of just reporting that a task failed get the
localized message from the TaskInfo error and include
it in the reported error message.

Implement minimal deserialization support for the
MethodFault type in order to obtain the actual fault
type.

For example, this changes the reported error message
when trying to create a volume with zero size from

  Could not create volume

to

  Could not create volume: InvalidArgument - A specified parameter was not correct.

Not perfect yet, but better than before.

e4384459c9 Use python discovered through env instead of hardcoding a path
This is more flexible regarding the location of the python binary
but doesn't allow to pass the -u flag. The -i flag can be passed
from inside the script using the PYTHONINSPECT env variable.

This fixes a problem with the esx_vi_generator.py on FreeBSD.

1504cc4f02 esx: Fix generator for string return values

and strings as return values (char **).

14954fb8cb esx: Set storage pool target path to host.mountInfo.path
Now all storage pool types expose the target path.

5254546bba esx: Make storage pool lookup by name and UUID more robust
Don't rely on summary.url anymore, because its value is different
between an esx:// and vpx:// connection. Use host.mountInfo.path
instead.

Don't fallback to lookup by UUID (actually lookup by absolute path)
in esxVI_LookupDatastoreByName when lookup by name fails. Add a
seperate function for this: esxVI_LookupDatastoreByAbsolutePath

5cff36e39a esx: Fix freeing of heterogeneous lists
Always call the free function of the base type. The base type
function then dynamically dispatches the call to the free function
for the actual type.

8aa08ea873 esx: Make esxVI_*_Deserialize dynamically dispatched
This will be used to deserialize the response from a call
to esxVI_SearchDatastore_Task properly.

ddb4ae0ca9 esx: Add read-only storage pool access
Allows listing existing pools and requesting information about them.

Alter the esxVI_ProductVersion enum in a way that allows to check for
product type by masking.

894baa0af8 esx: Make esxVI_*_CastFromAnyType dynamically dispatched
This will be used in the ESX storage driver in order to handle
the DatastoreInfo type and inheriting types properly.

71057b1c58 esx: Extend esx_vi_generator.py to cover methods too
Generate almost all SOAP method mapping code.

Update the driver code to use the complete paramater list of some methods
that had parameters skipped before.

Improve the ESX_VI__METHOD marco to do automatic output deserialization
based on output occurrence. Also incorporate automatic _this binding and
output pointer check.

1aaa909116 esx: Add domain snapshot support
Fix invalid code generating in esx_vi_generator.py regarding deep copy
types that contain enum properties.

Add strptime and timegm to bootstrap.conf. Both are used to convert a
xsd:dateTime to calendar time.

Add a testcase of the xsd:dateTime conversion.

50723581b0 esx: Generate most SOAP mapping and improve inheritance handling
The Python script generates the mappings based on the type descriptions
in the esx_vi_generator.input file.

This also improves the inheritance handling and allows to get rid of the
ugly, inflexible, and error prone _base/_super approach. Now every struct
that represents a SOAP type contains a _type member, that allows to
recreate C++-like dynamic dispatch for "method" calls in C.
