Subject: [PATCH] v2v: rhv-upload-plugin: Defer imageio connection

When using vddk input with certain vmware version, qemu-img may spend

lot of time getting source image extents. If getting image extents takes

more than 60 seconds, imageio server closes the idle connection, and the

transfer will fail on the first write with:

nbdkit: python[1]: error: /var/tmp/rhvupload.0OKqWA/rhv-upload-plugin.py: pwrite: error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

   File "/var/tmp/rhvupload.0OKqWA/rhv-upload-plugin.py", line 94, in wrapper

    return func(h, *args)

   File "/var/tmp/rhvupload.0OKqWA/rhv-upload-plugin.py", line 230, in pwrite

    r = http.getresponse()

   File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/http/client.py", line 1361, in getresponse

   File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/http/client.py", line 280, in _read_status

    raise RemoteDisconnected("Remote end closed connection without"

 http.client.RemoteDisconnected: Remote end closed connection without response

This happens only when not using unix socket, for example when running

on non-ovirt host, or ovirt host from another data center, or when using

-oo rhv_direct=false

When using unix socket, we close the initial HTTPSConnection, and

created a new UnixHTTPConnection. This connection is not connected to

the server yet. When qemu-img tries to access the server, the connection

is connected automatically.

Fix the issue by closing the initial connection used to get server

options and initialize the handle, and storing a closed connection in

the handle.

Here is the flow with this change:

1. Create HTTPSConnection for getting server options

2. Close the connection[1]

3. If using unix socket, create UnixHTTPConnection.

4. Store the connection in the handle.

5. When qemu-img try to write/zero, the connection is reconnects

   automatically to imageio server[2]

Tested by adding a 300 milliseconds delay in nbdkit file plugin. Due to

the way qemu-img works, this cause more than 2 minutes delay after

open() but before the first pwrite(). Without this change, the import

fails consistently when using rhv_direct=false.
