Zookeeper has previously been used by a number of projects, I think it
makes a sensible default to start. We even had it in the gate on the
unit test jobs for a while. We can make a plug point in devstack later
once we see some kinds of jobs running on the zookeeper base for what
the semantics would make sense to plug more stuff in.

Kind of like the MQ path in devstack right now. One default, and a plug
point for people trying other stuff.
