Create a persistence layer for policies

Registered by Flavio Percoco

The idea is to be able to store per-app policies in a centralized storage (database, cache, ...).

Requirements:
* Create an abstraction layer to support multiple back-ends
* Create an sqlalchemy based back-end

Whiteboard

I think havana-3 makes sense in this case. My thinking is that it might depend on the common cache blueprint to keep some policies cached but, since I haven't prototyped it yet, I'm not sure if that make sense. Keystone's implementation is definitely a good place to start from. -- Flavio

Gonna remove it from havana for now. Happy to add it back if you end up making progress -- markmc

For Access control policies, going to be using Keystone.
