Enabled by a new > 0 integer config value, "servers_per_port" in the
[DEFAULT] config section for object-server and/or replication server
configs. The setting's integer value determines how many different
object-server workers handle requests for any single unique local port
in the ring. In this mode, the parent swift-object-server process
continues to run as the original user (i.e. root if low-port binding
is required), binds to all ports as defined in the ring, and forks off
the specified number of workers per listen socket. The child, per-port
servers drop privileges and behave pretty much how object-server workers
always have, except that because the ring has unique ports per disk, the
object-servers will only be handling requests for a single disk. The
parent process detects dead servers and restarts them (with the correct
listen socket), starts missing servers when an updated ring file is
found with a device on the server with a new port, and kills extraneous
servers when their port is found to no longer be in the ring. The ring
files are stat'ed at most every "ring_check_interval" seconds, as
configured in the object-server config (same default of 15s).
Immediately stopping all swift-object-worker processes still works by
sending the parent a SIGTERM. Likewise, a SIGHUP to the parent process
still causes the parent process to close all listen sockets and exit,
allowing existing children to finish serving their existing requests.
The drop_privileges helper function now has an optional param to
suppress the setsid() call, which otherwise screws up the child workers'
process management.
The class method RingData.load() can be told to only load the ring
metadata (i.e. everything except replica2part2dev_id) with the optional
kwarg, header_only=True. This is used to keep the parent and all
forked off workers from unnecessarily having full copies of all storage
policy rings in memory.
A new helper class, swift.common.storage_policy.BindPortsCache,
provides a method to return a set of all device ports in all rings for
the server on which it is instantiated (identified by its set of IP
addresses). The BindPortsCache instance will track mtimes of ring
files, so they are not opened more frequently than necessary.
This patch includes enhancements to the probe tests and
object-replicator/object-reconstructor config plumbing to allow the
probe tests to work correctly both in the "normal" config (same IP but
unique ports for each SAIO "server") and a server-per-port setup where
each SAIO "server" must have a unique IP address and unique port per
disk within each "server". The main probe tests only work with 4
servers and 4 disks, but you can see the difference in the rings for the
EC probe tests where there are 2 disks per server for a total of 8
disks. Specifically, swift.common.ring.utils.is_local_device() will
ignore the ports when the "my_port" argument is None. Then,
object-replicator and object-reconstructor both set self.bind_port to
None if server_per_port is enabled. Bonus improvement for IPv6
addresses in is_local_device().
This PR for vagrant-swift-all-in-one will aid in testing this patch:
https://github.com/swiftstack/vagrant-swift-all-in-one/pull/16/
Also allow SAIO to answer is_local_device() better; common SAIO setups
have multiple "servers" all on the same host with different ports for
the different "servers" (which happen to match the IPs specified in the
rings for the devices on each of those "servers").
However, you can configure the SAIO to have different localhost IP
addresses (e.g. 127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.2, etc.) in the ring and in the
servers' config files' bind_ip setting.
This new whataremyips() implementation combined with a little plumbing
allows is_local_device() to accurately answer, even on an SAIO.
In the default case (an unspecified bind_ip defaults to '0.0.0.0') as
well as an explict "bind to everything" like '0.0.0.0' or '::',
whataremyips() behaves as it always has, returning all IP addresses for
the server.
Also updated probe tests to handle each "server" in the SAIO having a
unique IP address.
For some (noisy) benchmarks that show servers_per_port=X is at least as
good as the same number of "normal" workers:

Support separate replication ip address:
- Added new function in utils. This function provides ability
to select separate IP address for replication service.
- Db_replicator and object replicators were changed.
Replication process uses new function now.
Replication network parameters:
- Replication network fields (replication_ip, replication_port)
support was added to device dictionary in swift-ring-builder script.
- Changes were made to support new fields in search, show and set_info
functions.
Implementation of replication servers:
- Separate replication servers use the same code as normal replication
servers, but with replication_server parameter = True. When using a
separate replication network, the non-replication servers set
replication_server = False. When there is no separate replication
network (the default case), replication_server is not included in the config.

The probe tests were woefully out of date with all the changes that
have ocurred since they were written. I've updated most of them and
removed some that are hopeless outdated.
I also greatly improved the timing issues (hopefully completely
solved them? I ran them 25 times with no problems) and made them pep8
1.3.1 safe.

Updated the imports and added a head_account to the "is the cluster
started yet?" checks. Hopefully this fixes the notorious timing
issues of these tests where auth answers requests just a bit before
the rest of the cluster is ready.
