    Adds support for Hyper-V WMI V2 namespace

    Blueprint: hyper-v-wmi-v2

    The Hyper-V APIs are mainly based on WMI. The original 2008 Hyper-V
    release introduced the "root\virtualization" namespace which got
    superseded in Hyper-V Server / Windows Server 2012 by the
    "root\virtualization\v2" namespace (referred as V2 in the sources).

    Features introduced in 2012, including as an example live migration
    and VHDX support are available via the V2 namespace only.

    Furthermore, the original namespace has been dropped in the upcoming
    Hyper-V 2012 R2 (currently available in preview), which means that
    the Grizzly code will not be compatible with it as is.

    The Hyper-V driver is structured with a clear decoupling between OS
    interaction classes (so called *utils modules and classes) and the
    driver's business logic (e.g.: *ops modules and classes).

    This allows us to provide an implementation of the V2 API without
    impacting the rest of the driver's code, based on the previously
    included utilsfactory module to instantiate the proper version of
    the *utils classes: the original "V1" ones for versions of the OS
    predating 2012 and the newer "V2" ones starting from Hyper-V 2012
    (Windows kernel version 6.2).

    Hyper-V previous V1 APIs can be forced by setting the following option
    in the hyperv section to true. The default is false.

    force_hyperv_utils_v1=false

    Unit tests have been added for the relevant factory functions.
