Stephen Finucane ec74cc688e Add PCIWeigher
Take three hosts, one with a single PCI device, one with many PCI
devices, and one with no PCI devices. Nova should prioritise these
differently based on the demands of the instance. If the instance
requests a single PCI device, then the first of the hosts should be
preferred. Similarly, if the instance requests multiple PCI devices,
then the second of these hosts would be preferred. Finally, if the
instance does not request a PCI device, then the last of these hosts
should be preferred.

While the first and second of these cases is already somewhat handled by
the NUMA topology filter (which will ensure the correct number and type
of PCI devices are available on the hosts), there is nothing to stop a
instance that *does not* require PCI devices from occupying space on one
of the few hosts that *does* have free PCI devices.

The PCIWeigher is designed to keep hosts with PCI device(s) as free as
possible, to best ensure they can satisfy requests from instances with
PCI requirements when called upon.  This change ensures (a) an instance
with PCI requirements has the best possible chance of scheduling
successfully and (b) an instance without these requirements won't clog
up hosts that have these valuable resources.
