Extend the validation for generic pollster

Registered by Zi Lian Ji

The problem:

When the generic pollster loads the definition of the inspectors, it doesn't validate the definition of the specified inspector. User only gets the exceptions when the inspector is invoked and doesn't know it's caused by the wrong definition.

The wrong definition should be filtered during loading the definition file and the user should be notified in the log file.

When Lian Hao(llu) and I are discussing about the change set 'https://review.openstack.org/#/c/262660/', we have got an agreement that it should introduce a mechanism to overcome the above problems.

Register this blueprint and write down the design of it to help the contributors who want to implement a new inspector in the feature.
