Andrea Frittoli (andreaf) e07579c603 Migrate service_clients to tempest.lib
Migrate the service_clients module to tempest.lib.services.clients.
Migrate related unit tests as well.

The clients module atm imports plugin.py from Tempest which is not
allowed via hacking to avoid cirtular dependencies.
If there is no way around this, I will have to remove the self
registration of the service clients from plugins, and ask the
plugins to do the registration themselves - which is a pity. Ideas?

features:
- The Tempest plugin interface contains a new optional method, which allows
plugins to declare and automatically register any service client defined
in the plugin.
- tempest.lib exposes a new stable interface, the clients module and
ServiceClients class, which provides a convinient way for plugin tests to
access service clients defined in Tempest as well as service clients
defined in all loaded plugins.
The new ServiceClients class only exposes for now the service clients
which are in tempest.lib, i.e. compute, network and image. The remaing
service clients (identity, volume and object-storage) will be added in
future updates.
deprecations:
- The new clients module provides a stable alternative to tempest classes
manager.Manager and clients.Manager. manager.Manager only exists now
to smoothen the transition of plugins to the new interface, but it will
be removed shortly without further notice.
