A new 1.10 API microversion is added to return information that the scheduler can use to select a particular set of resource providers to claim resources for an instance. The GET /allocation_candidates endpoint takes a "resources" querystring parameter similar to the GET /resource_providers endpoint and returns a dict with two top-level elements: "allocation_requests" is a list of JSON objects that contain a serialized HTTP body that the scheduler may subsequently use in a call to PUT /allocations/{consumer_uuid} to claim resources against a related set of resource providers. "provider_summaries" is a JSON object, keyed by resource provider UUID, of JSON objects of inventory/capacity information that the scheduler can use to sort/weigh the results of the call when making its destination host decisions. Change-Id: I8dadb364746553d9495aa8bcffd0346ebc0b4baa blueprint: placement-allocation-requests
