Support for session-based oVirt authentication
Description
Everytime there is a call to the oVirt/RHEV, the full authentication against it is performed,
which has quite a big overhead (for more details http://www.ovirt.org/Features/RESTSessionManagement)
Since oVirt 3.1, there was added a support for getting a session token
and authenticating with it, which should be much faster.
At least in my setup, with remote RHEV authenticated over LDAP,
the response times are very unpleasant.

On my setup, switching to session based auth instead of using the basic auth on every call gives 4x speedup (4s without the session token,
1s with it)

What I don't get is how this is planned to work in Foreman. Do you plan to store the ovirt session id in the user's session?
