PROBLEMS:
 - -of qcow2 does not work, with multiple problems
    * needs to set NBD size to something larger than virtual size

This adds a new output mode to virt-v2v.  virt-v2v -o rhv-upload
streams images directly to an oVirt or RHV >= 4 Data Domain using the
oVirt SDK v4.  It is more efficient than -o rhv because it does not
need to go via the Export Storage Domain, and is possible for humans
to use unlike -o vdsm.

The implementation uses the Python SDK (‘ovirtsdk4’ module).  An
nbdkit Python 3 plugin translates NBD calls from qemu into HTTPS
requests to oVirt via the SDK.
