ceph/rbd block driver for qemu-kvm (v9)

This is a new version of the rbd driver. The only difference from v8 is a check for a recent librados version in configure. If the librados version is too old, rbd support will be disabled.

RBD is an block driver for the distributed file system Ceph
(http://ceph.newdream.net/). This driver uses librados (which is part of the Ceph server) for direct access to the Ceph object store and is running entirely in userspace (Yehuda also wrote a driver for the linux kernel, that can be used to access rbd volumes as a block device).

Regards,
Christian

Thanks. I still haven't managed to actually test it, but I've applied this to the block branch now based on your testing and Stefan's review (and the fact that it doesn't break my build any more).
