Add support for HP Vertica datastore in Trove2015.1.0b3

A specification for this change was submitted for review in
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/151126/

The following features have been implemented in this patchset:
- Launch/Reboot/Terminate
- Included unit tests.

Workflow for building instance is as follows:
- Guest instance is booted using taskmanager.
- Once the guest instance is active in nova,
  it receives "prepare" message.
- Mount the data disk on device_path.
- Check if vertica packages have been installed,
  install_if_needed().
- Run Vertica pre-install test, prepare_for_install_vertica().
- Run install_vertica command to install and
  configure Vertica, install_vertica().
- Create a database named db_srvr, create_db().

New Files:
- A new directory, vertica, has been created for manager code
  under guestagent/datastore/experimental.
- test_vertica_manager.py contains the unit-tests
  for vertica-manager.
