Request Standardized Capabilities In Nova

Registered by Yingxin

This blueprint aims at leveraging os-capabilities and resource-provider-tags(capabilities) to standardize how to specify and request capabilities in Nova. The main improvements are:
1. Allow to specify "required" and "preferred" capabilities in flavors and image metadata.
2. Allow nova to validate capabilities when create/modify a flavor.
3. Fail fast in nova-api when a requested capability doesn't exist or isn't valid in the cloud.
4. Standardize and encapsulate the implementation about how to request capabilities to scheduler through request spec.
