While innocently running probe tests that usued to work,
they started dropping to [sudo] prompt and hang. Apparently,
someone added an harmless-looking sudo, but this does not work
if the testing user does not have sudo priviletes.
The code checks very explicitly above that these operations
would be allowed, and thus the sudo is unnecessary. We can
just omit it, and get probe tests working again.

Swap out the standard logger stuff in place of --logfile. Keep --device
as a CLI-only option. Everything else is pretty standard stuff that
ought to be in [DEFAULT].

There's still one problem, though: since swiftclient on py3 doesn't
support non-ASCII characters in metadata names, none of the tests in
TestReconstructorRebuildUTF8 will pass.

This patch adds methods to increase the partition power of an existing
object ring without downtime for the users using a 3-step process. Data
won't be moved to other nodes; objects using the new increased partition
power will be located on the same device and are hardlinked to avoid
data movement.
1. A new setting "next_part_power" will be added to the rings, and once
the proxy server reloaded the rings it will send this value to the
object servers on any write operation. Object servers will now create a
hard-link in the new location to the original DiskFile object. Already
existing data will be relinked using a new tool in the new locations
using hardlinks.
2. The actual partition power itself will be increased. Servers will now
use the new partition power to read from and write to. No longer
required hard links in the old object location have to be removed now by
the relinker tool; the relinker tool reads the next_part_power setting
to find object locations that need to be cleaned up.
3. The "next_part_power" flag will be removed.
This mostly implements the spec in [1]; however it's not using an
"epoch" as described there. The idea of the epoch was to store data
using different partition powers in their own namespace to avoid
conflicts with auditors and replicators as well as being able to abort
such an operation and just remove the new tree. This would require some
heavy change of the on-disk data layout, and other object-server
implementations would be required to adopt this scheme too.
Instead the object-replicator is now aware that there is a partition
power increase in progress and will skip replication of data in that
storage policy; the relinker tool should be simply run and afterwards
the partition power will be increased. This shouldn't take that much
time (it's only walking the filesystem and hardlinking); impact should
be low therefore. The relinker should be run on all storage nodes at the
same time in parallel to decrease the required time (though this is not
mandatory). Failures during relinking should not affect cluster
operations - relinking can be even aborted manually and restarted later.
Auditors are not quarantining objects written to a path with a different
partition power and therefore working as before (though they are reading
each object twice in the worst case before the no longer needed hard
links are removed).
