we can leave the py suffix. it doesn't really matter
I think it does. If I rewrite fc-scan in another language, I don't
want to change
the code calling. Executables should not have a suffix.
(We also need to fix the protect shell scripts, remove the .sh)

I didn't comment yet because I don't like the idea behind "helpers"
folder
in vdsm tree, and I don't have any better offers except "scripts".
scripts is not correct, these are executables that can be implemented
in any language.
Their purpose is to help vdsm perform several tasks that can not be
done from the
vdsm process (e.g. fc-scan).
we can
also migrate those scripts to python.. not so sure how much value we can get
from it if any
We are not going to touch the protect scripts, these are legacy and delicate,
we are waiting for the moment that we can delete them :-)
