ceilometer/cmd/alarm.py references undefined method "import_object"

[wangchy]

The file imports the module here:
https://github.com/openstack/ceilometer/blob/14b4cdbb5138ea3ab6fb7166de3f70ae85820176/ceilometer/cmd/alarm.py#L18
like this:
====================================
from oslo.utils import importutils
======================================

And calls its method here:
https://github.com/openstack/ceilometer/blob/14b4cdbb5138ea3ab6fb7166de3f70ae85820176/ceilometer/cmd/alarm.py#L18
like this:
=====================================================
eval_service = importutils.import_object(cfg.CONF.alarm.evaluation_service)
=====================================================

While in fact, there's no public method import_object defined in class oslo.utils.importutils from oslo.utils version 0.2.0 (The latest requirement.txt of ceilometer claims requirement for oslo.utils >= 0.2.0)

adding oslo to the bug... it doesn't seem right that the methods became private as quite a few of them are not used anywhere now since they're not used internally nor accessible externally.

    Alarm: Use stevedore to load the service class

    A deployer must choice a driver with a name not a python class

    This change does that but also keep backward compatibility.
