Add profiling support to novaclient
To be able to create profiling traces for Nova, client should be
able to send special HTTP header that contains trace info.
This patch is also important to be able to make cross project
traces. (Typical case heat calls nova via python client, if
profiler is initialized in heat, nova client will add extra
header, that will be parsed by special osprofiler middleware in nova
api.)
Security considerations: trace information is signed by one of the
HMAC keys that are set in nova.conf. So only person who knows HMAC key
is able to send proper header.
