This branch adds the ability to define a local JSON file that will hold configuration information that the scheduler can use. This dict will be passed into the filter and weighing functions so that Operations can tweak the scheduler without having to bring down the scheduler service. Currently the polling time on the file is hardcoded at 5 minutes, but certainly this could be made into a flag. Next update will be to remove the host_filter and weighing_functions flags and fix the scheduler to get these values from the config file. Change-Id: Ia2487e933483761276058689fad84564d96a451e
