Description

We need to have a post-install script which uses operator's inputs to automatically:
- create the necessary configuration file for all OMF entities
- populate the inventory tables
- create additional required config files, e.g. dhcp config
(- configure pubsub server ?)
- create system nodes in XMPP

First we should consolidate the config files, getting rid of all redundancy. Then we should determine which parameters can have meaningful defaults. Only the ones where we cannot use defaults that work anywhere should be configured in the post-install.

To populate the inventory, add XMPP nodes and to update dnsmasq we can use gridservice calls as suggested in #296 and #297. These calls will be used by a shell command or an AM web GUI. We should not immediately ask the user to add nodes after package installation, since there are many other steps he has to complete first.

Also we need to move all example config files out of the way.

The config files have been cleaned up. Example configs can stay where they are.

To populate the inventory, I've added a new OMF component 'omf-admin'. It's a daemon serving a web interface, which uses XMPP to add/edit/remove nodes and testbeds using the inventory gridservice.

There is no more need for the AM or a script to create system nodes.
