Ilya Shakhat 1291bb4736 Add profiler support into Tempest
The primary goal is to be able to run all Tempest tests
and verify OpenStack when profiling is enabled. Also this patch
allows to:
 * manually verify that certain services are properly instrumented
   and produce trace events when a scenario is executed;
 * write automatic tests for trace coverage;
 * profile certain tests from performance perspective.

A new parameter is introduced into tempest.conf:
 * profiler.key - the key used to enable OSProfiler (should
     match the one configured in OpenStack services)

To test the patch on DevStack:
 1. Enable osprofiler with Redis collector in local.conf:

   enable_plugin osprofiler https://git.openstack.org/openstack/osprofiler master
   OSPROFILER_COLLECTOR=redis

 2. Run all Tempest tests or select some, e.g.:

   tempest run --regex tempest.api.network.test_networks.NetworksTest.test_list_networks*

Add support of `OSProfiler library`_ for profiling and distributed
tracing of OpenStack. A new config option ``key`` in section ``profiler``
is added, the option sets the secret key used to enable profiling in
OpenStack services. The value needs to correspond to the one specified
in [profiler]/hmac_keys option of OpenStack services.
