jakecoll c4a4305374 Add randomness to physical host selection
In the event that a given physical node has reliability issues, it can
be difficult for users to "get around" the problem because we currently
deterministically pick the first node from the list of nodes available.
Adding randomness to this process helps spread the probability that a
given lease will nab a node that has issues (but has not yet been
identified as such.)

``[physical:host]/randomize_host_selection``.
