Add rpc client side version control.

This is a first pass at client side version control for rpc.  It allows
you to configure a max version of messages that clients are allowed to
send.  You can find one example of how clients need to adapt in the
conductor rpcapi.  All other changes in rpc apis since the grizzly
release are not applicable to this.

Some future improvements to this could be reporting the versions
supported by running services and having that be discoverable via the
API.  We could also consider allow setting these client side version
caps via the API.  For now, recommended values for these config
options while attempting a rolling upgrade will just have to be documented.

The config options allow specifying specific rpc api version numbers if
desired, but an alias of 'grizzly' is also supported.  So typically at
the start of a rolling upgrade you'd have:

    [upgrade_levels]
    compute=grizzly
    conductor=grizzly
    scheduler=grizzly
    ... etc ...

And as you update all instances of a service, you would remove that bit
from your configuration across the deployment using your config management
system of choice.
