Nolan Brubaker 3fe2c8ccdd Add testing for dynamic_inventory.py
This change introduces a testing framework for the dynamic_inventory.py
script, which will be helpful in debugging any changes made to the
script. Current testing is indirect, relying on the other, very high
level gate tests, which may take longer to identify inventory generation
issues.

Currently, it does not do actual unit testing, instead opting to start
by testing from 'outside', calling the script through a subprocess. In
time, this should be replaced, but as a start it's easier to implement
without making many changes.

The 'tests/inventory' directory has the necessary pieces symlinked in;
namely, env.d, openstack_environment.yml, and a sample
openstack_user-config.yml (based on the AIO one already used in the gates).

A new tox environment, 'inventory' was added rather than creating a new
'gate-check-inventory.sh' file. This should fit the general
openstack-infra testing framework better.

For the first test, I decided to add a loop that runs 100 times because
of the nature of the script. Since the dynamic_inventory script does not
assign IP addresses sequentially, the loop helps exercise a larger
sample than just one run per test. On my local machine, this took
approximately 2 seconds. Running it 1,000 times took about 30 seconds.
Thus, the time spent right now is minimal in comparison to the rest of
the gate jobs.

As it stands, the test suite is by no means complete, but serves as a
starting point.
