Dedicated storage

Move from the GridFTP exclusive support to a generic SE interface (as a python API) to be used only for SB movement (Cli<->Server, Server<->WN)

I have almost fully defined the API structure and I am also implementing srmv1 and srmv2 protocol with the different functions (compy, move, list, delete, check size, check permission,..). I have also almost completed the interface for the set of API.

I have just created a twiki that need to be expanded but that can give an idea on what is and how the API will be used:

News:

• added Exception class to handle operation error;

• added "local protocol" (to be used for direct disk access);

• extended the set of performed command.

Complete for SRMv1 and Local. SRMv2 partially implemented (for SRMv2 need to be used the dcache-srmclient-1.8 package).

Complete. Need to be well tested and to check if there is need to add new protocol support.
