* Placement API for resource providers

Jay's personal goal for Newton is for the resource tracker to be writing
inventory and allocation data via the placement API. We want to get the data
writing into the placement API in Newton so we can start using it in Ocata.

There are some spec amendments up for resource providers, at least one has
merged, and the initial placement API change merged today:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/329149/

We talked about supporting dynamic resource classes for Ironic use cases
which is a stretch goal for Nova in Newton. Jay has a spec for that here:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/312696/

There is a lot more detail in the etherpad and honestly Jay Pipes or Jim
Rollenhagen would be better to summarize what came out of this at the
midcycle and what's being worked on for dynamic resource classes right now.

I actually wrote a bit about this last week:
http://lists.openstack.org/pipermail/openstack-dev/2016-July/099922.html

I'm not sure it covers everything, but it's the important pieces I got
from it.

We talked about a separate placement API database but decided this should be
optional to avoid forcing yet another nova database on deployers in a couple
of releases. This would be available for deployers to use to avoid some
future upgrade pain when the placement service is split out from Nova, but
if not configured it will default to the API database for the placement API.
There are a bunch more details and discussion on that in this thread that
Chris Dent started after the midcycle:
