Deploy the Alcor microservices as lxd/lxc containers in distrinet

[cj-chung]

We need to implement and deploy Alcor microservices as lxc containers to provide control plane for ACAs.

Requirements:

1. Modify Alcor's source code to make each Alcor microservice as a lxc containers after compilation.
2. Deploy Alcor's containers in one of worker node in Distrinet
3. Test request from these microservices to ACAs with swagger restful APIs.

The research on the usability of third-party lxdfile tools is still in progress

[SevenWang009]

was on familiar with the dockerfile generation process of Alcor simple service（data_plane_manager） and try to migrate it to LXD container

with the help of my seniority, we have found a tool similar to dockerfile function given by the official. （https://github.com/lxc/distrobuilder） trying to put DMP into LXD and explore what the tool could do specifically

There is an official tool to build an LXD container from file. And the container can be defined by a schema file .

[SevenWang009]

the official tool distrobuilder is ready to use

[SevenWang009]

for now, we've completed about half of the microservices' packaging and related LXD container customization

[SevenWang009]

discussing and studying the deployment scheme of OVS and other LXD containers

The build scripts are involved in PR #746 to Alcor.
