Nir Soffer	186e0057f2	qemu_nbd: Select cache and aio automatically ... Previously we use --cache=writeback and --aio=threads so we can access images on file system that does not support direct I/O. This is sometimes faster than --cache=none and --aio=native, but typically give less consistent results, and pollute the page cache with image data, which is mostly likely will never be used. When uploading and downloading images on a hypervisor, using the page cache can be harmful and cause sanlock timeouts when the kernel try to flush huge images to the underlying storage. Future qemu-img and qemu-nbd are expected to implement "auto" cache and aio modes, selecting --cache=none and --aio=native if possible. This change implements this in our qemu_nbd wrapper so we can use this now with current qemu version. When starting qemu_nbd.Server(), if cache was not specified, we select cache="none" if the image can be opened with direct I/O. If aio was not specified, we select it based on the cache value.

Nir Soffer	c12ae66be2	handlers: Gather request handlers in handlers package ... Keep the http request handler modules in a special package. This makes it easier to understand the structure of the program and free names in the _internal package namespace that will be useful for cleaning up the backends package.

Nir Soffer	3fc44d98fc	pypi: Eliminate the daemon directory ... This make it easier to work with the project and to improve packaging. For example, README.md is now at the expected location, so it is packaged automatically for pypi.
