This patch extends the StoragePolicy class for non-replication storage
policies, the first one being "erasure coding".
Changes:
- Add 'policy_type' support to BaseStoragePolicy class
- Disallow direct instantiation of BaseStoragePolicy class
- Subclass BaseStoragePolicy
- "StoragePolicy":
. Replication policy, default
. policy_type = 'replication'
- "ECStoragePolicy":
. Erasure Coding policy
. policy_type = 'erasure_coding'
. Private member variables
ec_type (EC backend),
ec_num_data_fragments (number of fragments original
data split into after erasure coding operation),
ec_num_parity_fragments (number of parity fragments
generated during erasure coding)
. Private methods
EC specific attributes and ring validator methods.
- Swift will use PyECLib, a Python Erasure Coding library, for
erasure coding operations. PyECLib is already an approved
OpenStack core requirement.

- Add test cases for
- 'policy_type' StoragePolicy member
- policy_type == 'erasure_coding'
