Dan Smith 4ea757b880 Add the beginnings of the nova-conductor service
This adds a new service called "nova-conductor" which will provide
services for nova-compute, such as completing database updates and
handling long-running tasks.

Right now, this just adds a fraction of the database-related work
so that we can proceed with incremental changes to nova-compute.

For compatibility/flexibility, both LocalAPI and (RPC)API classes
are provided. Users concerned with performance or compatibility
who wish to maintain compute-node-local database accesses can
set the [conductor] use_local=True, which will mimic the legacy
behavior.

Example for nova-manage:

mkdir /usr/local/man/man1
install -g 0 -o 0 -m 0644 doc/build/man/nova-manage.1  /usr/local/man/man1/nova-manage.1
gzip /usr/local/man/man1/nova-manage.1
man nova-manage
