Based on snmpit_arista and snmpit_hp.

This module wraps the Mellanox XML-gateway API, an "interesting" sort of
interface offered up by Mellanox switches running MLNX-OS.  This module
handles all of the connection setup and XML encoding / decoding.  Users
of the module pass in arrays of commands to run, and arrays of results
are returned.  All commands in lists passed to a single call() invocation
will be passed along together to be invoked, in order, on the switch.
Mixtures of 'get', 'set-*', and 'action' commands are allowed.

This check-in also includes a test harness for this module.

Sample use:

my $gw = MLNX_XMLGateway->new("user:pass@switch.somehost.org");
my @cmds = (
  ["get", "/some/REST/path"],
  ["set-create", "/some/REST/path/to/create"],
  ["set-modify", "/some/REST/path/to/modify=newvalue"],
  ["action", "/some/REST/action/path", {var => value, ...}]
);

$results = eval { $gw->call(\@cmds) };

if ($@) {
  die "error: $@";
}

foreach my $res (@$results) {
  # path, type, value
  print "@$res\n";
}

Avoids email blasts while swapping.

an option to initilo to gather the keys via the ILO's web XML
interface, and stick the result into the DB. Doing this, just in case
a node loses its keys (which actually happened at BBN).

own locking and breaks if two processes call it at the same time. DUMB!

subnet as the control network (as in Utah).

XMLRPC interface.

Disabled by default, enabled on Utah Emulab for testing.

No longer need this stuff

This is a leak!

This way I can throw away all the manual mysql handling that I was doing

This was so we won't need a daemon library
