Python 3 dependency list support

Registered by Julien Danjou

The openstack/requirements project list the dependencies needed for the OpenStack project. However, many requirement listed there are not Python 3 compatible.

The project needs to be updated to support having different lists of requirements for Python 2 and Python 3.

Whiteboard

There's mainly 2 ways of doing that:

1. Maintain two requirements.txt, one of Python 2 and one for Python 3, updating them at will.
Pros:
- We can update only one side and limit versions of dependencies when needed
- Do not have to change anything on tox nor setup.py for existing projects
Cons:
- Redundancy

2. Maintain 3 requirements.txt, one common, and one specific for each version of Python (as of today, it seems the Python 3 specific would be empty btw).
Pros:
- No redundancy, clean
Cons:
- Might want to do more complicated stuff to not break Python 2 only projects that expects only one requirements.txt file

In both case the final goal of the game will be to have only one file, obviously. :)
