Offline reshape tool for Placement
At the moment, reshapes are done by the compute service when restarting it after an upgrade.
Given fast forward upgrades don't restart services until the last release, Nova needs to continue to support reshapes for old releases, like Stein.
If we want to delete old reshapes upstream (and not checking the needed behaviours everytime we restart nova-compute), we need to provide a specific command (eg. a nova-manage) command that would verify and modify the Placement DB without needing to have the services to be up, ie. an offline tool per say.
The old reshape spec was already telling about it https:/
