    bootstrap: send complete bootstrap from engine
    
    CURRENT BEHAVIOR
    
    vds_installer.py is part of ovirt-engine, upon bootstrap, the script is
    sent to the node using ssh.
    
    Then vds_installer.py pulls vds-bootstrap* files using HTTP from
    engine.
    
    The vds_installer.py and vds_bootstrap pulls ssh public key from engine
    using HTTP.
    
    NEW BEHAVIOR
    
    vds_installer.py was moved into the vdsm-bootstrap and renamed to setup.
    
    vdsm-bootstrap repository was updated to create directory per bootstrap
    interface with 'setup' script.
    
    ovirt-engine copies public key to node in similar way of firewall rules.
    
    At bootstrap time, engine create tar archive from the bootstrap
    directory, cache it and pipe the archive into node in order to extract
    it and run the setup script.
    
    No HTTP communication is needed.
    
    No conflict with existing files.
    
    CONFIGURATION
    
    New: BootstrapCommand
    Control which command is sent during bootstrap.
    
    New: BootstrapCacheRefreshInterval
    Control the interval of testing if cache is valid.
    
    New: BootstrapPackageDirectory
    Directory to pack and send to node.
    
    New: BootstrapPackageName
    Cache archive name (basename).
    
    New: SSHKeyAlias
    Engine SSH key alias
    
    MODIFICATIONS
    
    Use umask 0077 when transferring installations so accessible only to
    logged on user.

    bootstrap: new implementation for apache-sshd usage
    
    Major changes:
    
      1. Do not use temporary files for compression/decompression.
    
      2. Do not use wget to pull large files, use ssh for all transfers.
    
      3. One pass on files for digest, compress/decompress, send/receive.
    
      4. Do not pull every 1 second for bytes/status.
    
      5. Test for command status code.
    
      6. File transfer using ssh and md5sum at same session, md5sum written to
         stderr.
    
      7. Limit buffer size when reading remote output, so we won't exhaust all
         memory.
    
      8. Do not echo back whole file content when sending file.
    
      9. Consistent error, exception handling and debugging information.
    
     10. More unit tests.
    
    Split between pure ssh implementation[1] and application logic[2].
    
    Unit tests now have their own dedicated generic sshd[3], for proper
    work in embedded mode ssh apache-ssh-0.7.0 is required.
    
    Separate unit tests dedicated to OVirtSSH implementation, by default
    embedded apache-sshd is used, this can be overridden by setting
    java system properties, see[4].
    
    As unit tests takes long time, use -Penable-ssh-tests to activate.
