Create Operator API

Registered by Brandon Logan

We need some kind of front end to talk to Octavia. Whether this is a REST API or some other front end is up to the community. That discussion and what the operator API is responsible for doing should be had.

Whiteboard

I'm probably just going to do a simple operator API first, just so something can be run. It'll probably just allow CRUD operations on entities and DB manipulation and do some simple validation.

I'll use pecan for the framework and WSME for validation, serialization, and deserialization.

Initial resources will look like:
GET /loadbalancers?tenant_id
   tenant_id is optional query parameter
POST /loadbalancers
GET /loadbalancers/{lb_id}
PUT /loadbalancers/{lb_id}
DELETE /loadbalancers/{lb_id}

GET /loadbalancers/{lb_id}/listeners
POST /loadbalancers/{lb_id}/listeners
GET /loadbalancers/{lb_id}/listeners/{listener_id}
PUT /loadbalancers/{lb_id}/listeners/{listener_id}
DELETE /loadbalancers/{lb_id}/listeners/{listener_id}

GET /loadbalancers/{lb_id}/listeners/{listener_id}/pools
POST /loadbalancers/{lb_id}/listeners/{listener_id}/pools
GET /loadbalancers/{lb_id}/listeners/{listener_id}/pools/{pool_id}
PUT /loadbalancers/{lb_id}/listeners/{listener_id}/pools/{pool_id}
DELETE /loadbalancers/{lb_id}/listeners/{listener_id}/pools/{pool_id}

GET /loadbalancers/{lb_id}/listeners/{listener_id}/pools/{pool_id}/healthmonitor
POST /loadbalancers/{lb_id}/listeners/{listener_id}/pools/{pool_id}/healthmonitor
PUT /loadbalancers/{lb_id}/listeners/{listener_id}/pools/{pool_id}/healthmonitor

GET /loadbalancers/{lb_id}/listeners/{listener_id}/pools/{pool_id}/members
POST /loadbalancers/{lb_id}/listeners/{listener_id}/pools/{pool_id}/members
GET /loadbalancers/{lb_id}/listeners/{listener_id}/pools/{pool_id}/members/{member_id}
PUT /loadbalancers/{lb_id}/listeners/{listener_id}/pools/{pool_id}/members/{member_id}
DELETE /loadbalancers/{lb_id}/listeners/{listener_id}/pools/{pool_id}/members/{member_id}

All GETs will just retrieve data from the database and return back to the user.

A layer between the API and controller will be added so that the API and controller are not tightly coupled. All POSTs, PUTs, and DELETEs will first update the database and then send to this middle layer.
