Add placement client for basic GET operations
The goal of this placement client for tempest is to make possible the
end-to-end testing of the placement based bandwidth feature (see the
nova and neutron specs: https://review.openstack.org/502306
https://review.openstack.org/508149)
The minimum placement microversion is 1.29, and the following operations
are supported: list_allocation_candidates, list_allocations.
