Monasca

Add Windows Support

Registered by Claudiu Belu

The purpose of this blueprint is to add the necessary changes needed in order to have monasca-agent running on Windows.

In order to achieve this, there are a couple of things that needs to be done:

* Replace monasca_agent.collector.virt.hyperv.utilsv2 and its usage with os_win utils and add os-win as a dependency in requirements.txt. os-win is an official OpenStack library containing Windows / Hyper-V specific code and it's currently a dependency in nova, cinder, ceilometer, networking-hyperv, and compute-hyperv.

* Avoid accesing Linux-specific modules, attributes, or functions on Windows. Examples include:
** signal.SIGUSR1 used in collector's daemon.
** os.statvfs function used in the disk checker.
** Different cpu stats used in the cpu checker that do not exist on Windows: nice, irq, softirq, iowait, steal.

* Refactor libvirt checker in a more generic and extendible one, so that Hyper-V, VMWare, and XenAPI checkers can easily be added.
