Ivan A. Melnikov cde0dee14e Simpler API to load flows into engines
Previously to run a flow client code had to put together the flow,
an engine, logbook, flowdetail, and storage backend. This commit
adds two helper functions, run() and load(), so that simplest usecase
now looks like

    taskflow.engines.run(flow)

Client code may also provide configuration for storage and engine if
needed, but if not needed it just works with defaults.

Engines are loaded via stevedore, as drivers in 'taskflow.engines'
backend. Now three entry points are defined in that namespace:
- 'default', for SingleThreadedActionEngine, used by default;
- 'serial', as another synonym for SingleThreadedActionEngine;
- 'parallel', for MultiThreadedActionEngine.

Closes-bug: #1224726
