This patch adds an rpc API that is exposed by all services. The methods in this API exist in their own namespace and are versioned independently of the main API for the service. The first method for this API is a simple ping() method. This method exists in the conductor rpc API already, and could be more generally useful. Other methods will be added in later patches. The base rpc API will be exposed from all services automatically unless they override the create_rpc_dispatcher method in the base manager class. All services need to pass a service_name into the base manager constructor. Some services already did this, but now it's needed for all of them. Implements blueprint base-rpc-api.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Nova project should always base their work on the latest Nova code, available from the master GIT repository at:
