Resource action api

Registered by Zhang Yang

Now we only can suspend or resume a whole stack, user some time may suspend/resume a part of resources with heat,
I think we need resource API, which could operate the resources of a stack.

There are 2 main uses of this api:
1. Suspend/resume resources of the stack with heat instead of with other services, and heat could set the right status for resources. this will let heat avoid some
issues caused by the wrong status.
2. Turn on/off the resource offered by heat. e.g you could stop a autoscaling policy, and the autoscalinggroup won't adjust even the alarm is triggered, there is a same feature in aws [1], or you can stop HARestarter when you want to debug an issue with your server and fix it.

Whiteboard

zhangyang: Talk with SpamapS, he suggested that using "state" parameter should be better.
