    Avoid leaking admin-ness into threshold-oriented alarms

    Fixes bug 1237567

    Previously when an admin created a threshold-oriented alarm on
    behalf of an non-admin identity, this had the effect of leaking
    visibility onto statistics for resources that would not normally
    be visible to the non-admin tenant.

    Now we ensure that an additional implicit threshold rule query
    constraint is added on the project ID of the non-admin indentity
    that will ultimately own the alarm.

    This is acheived by splitting the query validation from the
    construction of the kwargs from the query. The addition of the
    implicit query constraint to the threshold rule can then be
    delayed to a later point in the dispatch path where the full
    context of the alarm is known (so that we can check for the case
    where the alarm is created by an admin on behalf of another tenant).
