OpenStack Compute (nova)

Change compute updates from periodic to on demand

Registered by Don Dugger

Currently, all compute nodes update status info in the DB on a periodic basis (the period is currently 60 seconds). Given that the status of the node only changes at specific points (manyline image creation/destruction) this leads to significant DB overhead on a large system. This BP changes the update mechanism to only update the DB when a node state changes, specifically at node startup, instance creation and instance destruction.
