    Introduced flag base_dir_name. Fixes bug 973194

    rebased from master.

    If user faces locking related problem when two nova-compute hosts
    sharing same disk area via nfs, try to download same image into
    cache concurrently - Then base_dir_name can be set to "_base_$my_ip" in
    nova.conf

    Default value for base_dir_name is "_base" thus retaining existing
    behavior.
