Add a common generic dynamic loader for watcher

In watcher, an audit generates a set of actions which
aims at achieving a given goal (lower energy consumption, ...).
It is possible to configure different strategies in order to achieve
each goal. Each strategy is written as a Python class which produces
a set of actions. Today, the set of possible actions is fixed for a
given version of Watcher and enables optimization algorithms to
include actions such as instance migration, changing hypervisor state,
changing power state (ACPI level, ...).

This patchset add a common generic dynamic loader for plugins,
such as for custom Actions, Strategies, Planners, etc.

Partially implements: blueprint watcher-add-actions-via-conf
