Michael Johnson 8997def2b5 Updates Octavia to support octavia-lib
This is the base patch that updates octavia to use the new octavia-lib.
It is backwards compatible by using debtcollector moves.

It adds a new controller process called the "driver-agent".

This patch also adds unit test coverage for a few additional modules.

features:
- |
The Stein release of Octavia introduces the octavia-lib python module.
This library enables provider drivers to integrate easier with the Octavia
API by providing a shared set of coding objects and interfaces.
upgrade:
- |
The Stein release of Octavia adds the driver-agent controller process.
This process is deployed along with the Octavia API process and uses
unix domain sockets for communication between the provider drivers using
octavia-lib and the driver-agent.
When upgrading to Stein, operators should make sure that the
/var/run/octavia directry is available for the driver-agent with the
appropriate ownership and permissions for the driver-agent and API
processes to access it. The operator may need to make sure the driver-agent
process starts after installation. For example, a systemd service may need
to be created and enabled for it.
