    Add agent build API support for list/create/delete/modify agent build
    
    This adds an extension that provides REST API for list/create/delete/
    modify agent build. The interface is accessed via
    
    GET /v2/{tenant_id}/os-agents
    PUT /v2/{tenant_id}/os-agents/id
    POST /v2/{tenant_id}/os-agents
    DELETE /v2/{tenant_id}/os-agents
    
    And this patch also create tests to get agent build API Samples.

    Implements one workitem of blueprint apis-for-nova-manage
    
    The agent is talking about guest agent.The host can use this for
    things like accessing files on the disk, configuring networking,
    or running other applications/scripts in the guest while it is
    running. Typically this uses some hypervisor-specific transport
    to avoid being dependent on a working network configuration.
    Xen, VMware, and VirtualBox have guest agents,although the Xen
    driver is the only one with an implementation for managing them
    in openstack. KVM doesn't really have a concept of a guest agent
    (although one could be written).
    
    You can find the design of agent update in this link:
    http://wiki.openstack.org/AgentUpdate
    and find the code in nova.virt.xenapi.vmops.VMOps._boot_new_instance.
    In this design We need update agent in guest from host, so we need
    some interfaces to update the agent info in host.
