Generic Loadable class support.

Meant to be used by such things as scheduler filters and weights where we
want to load modules from certain directories and find certain types of
classes within those modules.  Note that this is quite different than
generic plugins and the pluginmanager code that exists elsewhere.

Usage:

Create a directory with an __init__.py with code such as:

class SomeLoadableClass(object):
    pass


class MyLoader(nova.loadables.BaseLoader)
    def __init__(self):
        super(MyLoader, self).__init__(SomeLoadableClass)

If you create modules in the same directory and subclass SomeLoadableClass
within them, MyLoader().get_all_classes() will return a list
of such classes.
