Julia Kreger ffff76a682 Add basic tools for benchmarking
Adds a horribly written, just hacked together little tool to help
provide sizing insight into an ironic deployment's state and underlying
performance.

Key data:
* Queries the list of node from a pure python interface level with the
  database and reports timeing for the list of nodes to be returned.
  This information helps convey how long a periodic hits the database
  just for the query.
* Requests *all* nodes using the query pattern/structure of the nova
  resource tracker, and uses the marker to make any additional requsts.
  The data is parsed, and collected, and counts identified vendors,
  if any.
* Collects basic data on conductors in terms of running, conductor groups
  as well as currently loaded drivers in the deployment.

All of this information provides operational insight into *what*
conditions exist within the deployment allowing developers to try
and identify solutions based on the unique circumstances of larger
deployments.

Also adds a utility to generate and semi-randomize data to allow us to
create a benchmark job in CI.

Overview

Ironic consists of an API and plug-ins for managing and provisioning physical machines in a security-aware and fault-tolerant manner. It can be used with nova as a hypervisor driver, or standalone service using bifrost. By default, it will use PXE and IPMI to interact with bare metal machines. Ironic also supports vendor-specific plug-ins which may implement additional functionality.

Ironic is distributed under the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0. The full terms and conditions of this license are detailed in the LICENSE file.
