CloudStack does not have any means to dynamically add new hypervisor types. The hypervisor types are internally preset by an enum defined within the CloudStack codebase and unless a new version supports a new hypervisor it is not possible to add a host of a hypervisor that is not in part of the enum. It is possible to implement minimal changes in CloudStack to support a new hypervisor plugin that may be developed privately

This PR is an initial work on allowing new dynamic hypervisor types (adds a new element to the HypervisorType enum, but allows variable display name for the hypervisor)

Proposed Future work:

• Replace the HypervisorType from a fixed enum to an extensible registry mechanism, registered from the hypervisor plugin
