XenAPI: Fix race-condition with cached images.
The core problem is that XenServer's `VDI.copy` call drops the destination file directly into the SR. This means that half-completed files are visible with no way to distinguish these from fully-copied files. We had some code that attempted to mitigate this issue by checking physical_utilisation against an expected value. The problem with this code is that it didn't account for VDI chaining where the physical_utilisation would not necessarily match the parent. The net effect of this was that 'cloned' VDIs would never be found because their physical_utilisation was far below what was expected. The work around is to create our own `_safe_copy_vdi` which is isolated and atomic. Long term, `VDI.copy` should be fixed so that half-completed files are never stored in the SR.
