Balazs Gibizer c5feba11ff Make the default executor configurable
This patch adds the logic to initialize our DEFAULT_EXECUTOR based on
the concurrency mode.

If the OS_NOVA_DISABLE_EVENTLET_PATCHING env variable is set to "true"
then we use ThreadPoolExecutor so the service will use native threads.
Otherwise the service will keep using the GreenThreadPoolExecutor and
therefore using Eventlet.

There is a new config option `[DEFAULT]default_thread_pool_size`
added to define the size of the ThreadPoolExecutor and the existing
`[DEFAULT]default_green_pool_size` is deprecated. The two config options
are independent and each of them is only used if the service is started
with the matching concurrency mode.

Our test fixture that catches leaked threads are adapted to handle both
threading mode. But at the moment it is only tested with the eventlet
mode as no service can be switched to threading mode yet.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
