Subject: Add ability to download images via BitTorrent.

This patch adds a new dom0 plugin which supports downloading images via
BitTorrent. Torrent metadata files are assumed to be served from a
webserver which is specified by the `torrent_base_url` config.

Under the hood, the dom0 plugins calls out to rasterbar's libtorrent via
Python bindings in order perform the initial download as well as the
seeding thereafter.

Implements BP xenserver-bittorrent-images
