Add a --owner to all the objects, plus associated API calls and backend stuff, for use with the (pending real soon now)
authz_ownership module. Also updated docs. Incidentally, self.settings.tftpboot is now utils.tftpboot_location() -- which is required because tftpboot moves around. Previously this was masked to still look like a settings variable but I decided to remove the hack. All code using that location has been updated appropriately.

+=item owners
+
+Users with small sites and a limited number of admins can probably ignore this option. All cobbler objects (distros, profiles, systems, and repos) can take a --owners parameter to specify what cobbler users can edit particular objects. This only applies to the Cobbler WebUI and XMLRPC interface, not the "cobbler" command line tool run from the shell. Furthermore, this is only respected by the "authz_ownership" module which must be enabled in /etc/cobbler/modules.conf. The value for --owners is a comma seperated list of users and groups as specified in /etc/cobbler/users.conf. For more information see the users.conf file as well as the Cobbler Wiki. In the default Cobbler configuration, this value is completely ignored, as is users.conf.
