Status

Merged Subject: Adding flowID Description: This patch will implement the flowID schema in vdsm side. The idea is provide a mechanism to identify the flow between ovirt engine and vdsm API calls in order to identify the entire scope of the backend action (which possibly consisted of several VSDM calls). At moment, we are going to use HTTP headers to implement this feature to keep the compability with current API, avoiding possible breakes.
