[KUDU-3452] Make validate tablet creating task not affected

Currently, creating a table with RF=n when the number of
healthy tservers is less than n will get stuck. Because
catalog manager creates tablets for it will fail and retry
continuously. At the same time, creating a table with RF=m
also will get stuck even if there are more than m healthy
tservers. Because catalog manager will return when finds a
tablet-creating task failed and will not try to select replicas
for other PREPARING tablets. For example, creating a three
replicas table times out when one of three tablet servers becomes
unavailable. After that, creating a two-replicas table also
will timeout even if there are enough tablet servers to place
its replicas. The validate two-replicas table-creating task will
be affected by invalidate three-replicas table-creating task.

This patch fixes this problem. If a task of creating tablet fail,
it will not return immediately, but let other tasks of creating
other tablets keep on running.

> h1. Background
> In my case, every day a new Kudu table (called: history_data_table) will be 
> created to store history data and a new partition for another table (called: 
> business_data_table) to be ready to store today's data. These tables and 
> partitions all require 3 replicas. This business logic was implemented by 
> some Python scripts. My Kudu cluster contains 3 masters and 3 tservers. Flag: 
> --catalog_manager_check_ts_count_for_create_table is false.
> Sometimes, one tserver maybe become unavailable. Table creating task will 
> retry continuously and always fail until the tserver become healthy again. 
> See the error:
> {color:#ff8b00}E0222 11:10:32.767140 3321 catalog_manager.cc:672] Error 
> processing pending assignments: Invalid argument: error selecting replicas 
> for tablet 41dffa9783f14f36a5b6c35e89075c1a, state:0: Not enough tablet 
> servers are online for table 'test_table'. Need at least 3 replicas, but only 
> 2 tablet servers are available{color}
> {color:#172b4d}As there are no enough replicas, a tablet will never be 
> created. The state of this tablet is not running. Therefore, read or write 
> this tablet will fail even if there are 2 tservers can be used to create 2 
> replicas.{color}
>  
> An already created tablet can still be on service even if one of its 3 
> replicas become unavailable. Why can not create a three-replicas table when 
> only 2 tservers healthy?
>  
> Besides, a validate table creating task will be affected by another 
> invalidate tasks. In the upper example, a table creating task with RF=1 will 
> still not succeed even if there exists more than one alive tablet servers. 
> Because the background task manager will break the whole process when finds a 
> tablet creating task failed and begin a new process to try to execute all 
> tasks.
>  
>  
> h1. Design
> A new flag: --support_create_tablet_without_enough_healthy_tservers is added. 
> The original logic keeps the same. When this flag is set true, a 
> three-replicas tablet can be created successfully and its status is losing 
> one replica. This tablet can be be read and write normally.
>  
> There are 3 things need to do:
>  # A tool to cancel the table creating task.
>  # A tool to show the running table creating task.
>  # A method to create table without enough healthy tservers.
>  # make invalidate table creating task not affected by other invalidate tasks.
