Make checks before live-migration async

Registered by Timofey Durakov

Existing live-migration operation, provided by nova is quite complex thing.
Nova made verification of the env before acception and triggering
live-migration. While this validation is required, it's done in synchronious
way, and is quite complex by itself, from api service request is send over
RPC call to conductor, which triggers 2 more rpc calls to compute, and only if
everything is OK, request triggers rpc cast to compute, to start process, and
REST API layer response with 202.

Existing workflow is complex, and leaves space for timeouts, and also blocks
HTTP request, which in general is bad.
