This patch replaces the scheduler's use of GET /resource_providers?resources=XXX with GET /allocation_candidates?resources=XXX. In doing so, we move the interaction with the placement API out of the scheduler driver interface and up into the scheduler manager. This allows us to make fewer changes to the underlying HostManager and SchedulerDriver interfaces and isolate communication with the placement API in a single place. The provider_summaries part of the response from GET /allocation_candidates is used to generate the UUIDs that winnow the number of compute nodes retrieved by the filter scheduler during scheduling. Following patches will add in support for actually doing the claim from the scheduler against one or more resources providers by examining the allocation_requests part of the HTTP response and picking one that contains the host the scheduler picked during its _schedule() loop.
