Use stevedore to load drivers

Registered by Brant Knudson

Rather than using importutils.import_object() to load drivers, take advantage of stevedore's DriverManager.

Note that if the stevedore import fails, keystone will continue to use importutils.import_object() as a fallback. If the fallback is used, a deprecation warning will be printed. In a future release, the fallback will be removed and only stevedore will be used.

This was discussed on #openstack-keystone irc, see http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-keystone/%23openstack-keystone.2015-04-21.log at 2015-04-21T19:00:42 , and approved. No spec required. Summary of feedback is that the change to allow short names and deprecation of old names needs to be in release notes and docs.
