OpenStack driver creates new connection on every request

[llamasoft]

The OpenStack driver creates a new connection for every request it makes and results in a large amount of overhead when attempting to do bulk actions.

libcloud/libcloud/common/openstack.py

Lines 359 to 362 in d163f9b

	def _set_up_connection_info(self, url):
	result = self._tuple_from_url(url)
	(self.host, self.port, self.secure, self.request_path) = result
	self.connect()

The connection only needs to be recreated if the host/port/secure value has changed.
