The "vm workload consolidation" strategy is summing up instance
usage in order to estimate host usage.
The problem is that some infrastructure services (e.g. OVS or Ceph
clients) may also use a significant amount of resources, which
would be ignored. This can impact Watcher's ability to detect
overloaded nodes and correctly rebalance the workload.
This commit will use the host metrics, if available. The proposed
implementation uses the maximum value between the host metric
and the sum of the instance metrics.
Note that we're holding a dict of host metric deltas in order to
account for planned migrations.

The "cpu_util" metric has been deprecated a few years ago.
We'll obtain the same result by converting the cumulative cpu
time to a percentage, leveraging the rate of change aggregation.

Ceilometer removed cpu_util metric in [1].
Another metric compute.node.cpu.percent need to set
compute_monitors option to cpu.virt_driver in the
nova.conf, we should remind user about these.

Actually, the metric "cpu_util" and "memory.resident" are necessary
in vm_workload_consolidation.py, according to line 75. So modify
this document about this part.

Removed duplicates of strategies descriptions, added references to
that descriptions instead of module descriptions.

Metric 'memory.usage' depends on balloon driver,
and shows the memory usage inside guest-os,
while 'memory.resident' represents volume of RAM
used by the instance on the physical machine
So, it is more reasonable to use 'memory.resident'
when calculating node utilization
by gathering instances utilization of the node.

The goal of "vm_consolidation" is not existent by default.
Use the goal of "server_consolidation" instead for shell command.
