    Glance services can now run on Windows.
glance Windows support This change will allow glance services to run on Windows, using eventlet wsgi for API services. This change will: * avoid monkey patching the os module on Windows (which causes Popen to fail) * avoiding unavailable signals * avoid renaming in-use files or leaking handles * update the check that ensures that just one scrubber process may run at a time. We can't rely on process names as there might be wrapper processes that have similar names (no she-bangs on Windows, so the scripts are called a bit differently). We'll use a global named mutex instead. A subsequent change will leverage Windows job objects as a replacement for process groups, also avoiding forking when spawning workers. At the moment, some Glance tests cannot run on Windows, which is also covered by subsequent patches.
