Add a pointer to the primary context of a connection and use it in

driver functions that don't dependent on the context type. This includes
almost all functions that deal with a virDomianPtr. Therefore, using
a vpx:// connection allows you to perform all the usual domain related
actions like start, destroy, suspend, resume, dumpxml etc.
Some functions that require an explicitly specified ESX server don't work
yet. This includes the host UUID, the hostname, the general node info, the
max vCPU count and the free memory. Also not working yet are migration and
defining new domains.
If you're connecting to vpx://example-vcenter.com how does the driver
know which host you're asking for data on ? IIUC a vcenter reports on all
hosts in a data center. Does new mode still guarentee that every domain
has a unique name & ID, as well as UUID ?
