Felipe Rodrigues 147637b63f NetApp NFS: Clone image using copy file operation
The copy offload tool is no longer available available, so this patch adds
an alternative approach using file copy operations to the scenarios where
the tool was required. During the clone image operation, if the source
volume is not available in the same pool or cache, the copy file operation
is called to perform the action.

The copy offload tool will keeping working and it will be removed in the
next release (Antelope). There patch [1] deprecates the tool.

NetApp NFS driver: add an alternative approach to perform the efficient clone
image when the Glance source store and Cinder destination pool are not in the
same FlexVol, but they are in the same Cluster. Previously, the driver required
the copy offload tool for doing it efficiently, which is no longer available.
Now, the operators can maintain their efficient clone image by relying on the
storage file copy operation.
