Introduces NovaComputeCpuSharedSet parameter to set
``[compute]/cpu_shared_set`` option for compute nodes.
Some workloads run best when the hypervisor overhead processes
(emulator threads in libvirt/QEMU) can be placed on different
physical host CPUs than other guest CPU resources. This allows
those workloads to prevent latency spikes for guest vCPU threads.
To place a workload's emulator threads on a set of isolated
physical CPUs, set the configuration option to the set of host
CPUs that should be used for best-effort CPU resources. Then set
a flavor extra spec to ``hw:emulator_threads_policy=share`` to
instruct nova to place that workload's emulator threads on that
set of host CPUs.
