[Libguestfs] [PATCH] v2v: -o rhv-upload: Optimize http request sending

When sending request with small or no payload, it is simpler and
possibly more efficient to use the high level HTTPSConnection.request(),
instead of the lower level APIs.

The only reason to use the lower level APIs is to avoid copying the
payload, or on python 2, to use a bigger buffer size when streaming a
file-like object.

WARNING: this is not tested, but I tested similar code here:
https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-imageio/blob/master/examples/upload
(which need the same change).

Do we have an easy way to test the plugin without running the entire
virt-v2v pipeline?

Ideally, a way to run nbdkit with the plugin against an existing ovirt
system, and then use qemu-img to convert a file to the nbdkit nbd socket.

Change seems quite straightforward.  I'll have to test this out on my
own oVirt system first before I can properly verify it.

I tested the same change with imageio example upload script, and
it *doubled* the throughput.

There were a few Python syntax errors such as this one.  They
can be found by running:

  make -C v2v check TESTS=test-v2v-python-syntax.sh

However I have now fixed them.
> Do we have an easy way to test the plugin without running the entire

Not really.  In fact we don't have any unit tests for -o rhv-upload
functionality because there's no way to simulate the imageio server.

However you can run virt-v2v locally against an oVirt instance without
needing VMware.  The command is rather lengthy, but here it is:

$ virt-builder fedora-27
$ ./run virt-v2v -i disk /var/tmp/fedora-27.img \
    -o rhv-upload \
    -oc https://ovirt-engine.example.com/ovirt-engine/api \
    -os ovirt-data \
    -op /tmp/password \
    -of raw \
    -oo rhv-cafile=/tmp/ca.pem \
    -oo rhv-direct

/tmp/password should contain the oVirt admin password.
/tmp/ca.pem should contain the oVirt CA cert.

This will create a guest called ‘fedora-27’ which you'll need to
delete (on oVirt) afterwards.  You can add ‘-on name’ to name it
something else.

In any case I have fixed and verified this patch and will push it
soon, thanks.

Rich.
