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.
