Python modules for Ceph iSCSI gateway configuration management

Python package providing the modules used to handle the configuration of an iSCSI gateway, backed by Ceph RBD. The RPM installs configuration management logic (ceph_iscsi_config modules), an rbd-target-gw systemd service, and a CLI-based management tool 'gwcli', replacing the 'targetcli' tool. The configuration management modules may be are consumed by custom Ansible playbooks and the rbd-target-gw daemon. The rbd-target-gw service is responsible for startup and shutdown actions, replacing the 'target' service used in standalone LIO implementations. In addition, rbd-target-gw also provides a REST API utilized by the Ceph dashboard and gwcli tool, and a prometheus exporter for gateway LIO performance statistics, supporting monitoring and visualisation tools like Grafana.
