Romain LE DISEZ 71f6fd025e Allows to configure the rsync modules where the replicators will send data
Currently, the rsync module where the replicators send data is static. It
forbids administrators to set rsync configuration based on their current
deployment or needs.

As an example, the rsyncd configuration example encourages to set a connections
limit for the modules account, container and object. It permits to protect
devices from excessives parallels connections, because it would impact
performances.

On a server with many devices, it is tempting to increase this number
proportionally, but nothing guarantees that the distribution of the connections
will be balanced. In the worst scenario, a single device can receive all the
connections, which is a severe impact on performances.

This commit adds a new option named 'rsync_module' to the *-replicator sections
of the *-server configuration file. This configuration variable can be
extrapolated with device attributes like ip, port, device, zone, ... by using
the format {NAME}. eg:
    rsync_module = {replication_ip}::object_{device}

With this configuration, an administrators can solve the problem of connections
distribution by creating one module per device in rsyncd configuration.

The default values are backward compatible:
    {replication_ip}::account
    {replication_ip}::container
    {replication_ip}::object

Option vm_test_mode is deprecated by this commit, but backward compatibility is
maintained. The option is only effective when rsync_module is not set. In that
case, {replication_port} is appended to the default value of rsync_module.

Dedicated replication network
=============================
-------
Summary
-------
Swift's replication process is essential for consistency and availability of
data. By default, replication activity will use the same network interface as
other cluster operations. However, if a replication interface is set in the
ring for a node, that node will send replication traffic on its designated
separate replication network interface. Replication traffic includes REPLICATE
requests and rsync traffic.
To separate the cluster-internal replication traffic from client traffic,
separate replication servers can be used. These replication servers are based
on the standard storage servers, but they listen on the replication IP and
only respond to REPLICATE requests. Storage servers can serve REPLICATE
requests, so an operator can transition to using a separate replication
network with no cluster downtime.
Replication IP and port information is stored in the ring on a per-node basis.
These parameters will be used if they are present, but they are not required.
If this information does not exist or is empty for a particular node, the
node's standard IP and port will be used for replication.

Syntax of adding device has been changed: R<ip_replication>:<port_replication> was added between z<zone>-<ip>:<port> and /<device_name>_<meta> <weight>. Added devices will use <ip_replication> and <port_replication> for replication activities.
