Clean unused kernels and ramdisks from image cache
Fixes bug #1132138
Only unused disk images are currently cleaned up by the image cache
manager but it seems logical to clean up unused kernels and ramdisks
too.
Achieve that by writing kernels and ramdisks to disk using the sha1
sum of their ID as the filename. This is the same scheme as used for
disk image filenames and causes the image cache manager to consider
them for cleanup. We also make the cache manager take note of in use
kernels and ramdisks when iterating over the list of instances.
A nasty upgrade concern is that if we immediately switch to writing
kernels to disk using this scheme then, where shared storage is used,
we can have older image cache managers on remote compute nodes cleaning
up kernels because they appear unused. To mitigate that, turn off this
behaviour by default and allow it to be enabled using a new config
option. This option will be removed in future and the behaviour enabled
by default.
DocImpact: new remove_unused_kernels option
