MAAS Pod support

[Nobuto Murata]

Now that MAAS has a "Pod" feature such as Intel RSD or libvirt, it would be nice if Juju supports constraints/placement to specify which pod to be used for machine scheduling.
https://docs.ubuntu.com/maas/devel/en/intel-rsd

[MAAS cli]
$ maas ubuntu machines allocate pod=pod-localhost

[Juju (at this moment)]
$ juju version
2.2-beta3-xenial-amd64

$ juju add-machine --constraints pod=pod-localhost
ERROR unknown constraint "pod"

$ juju add-machine pod=pod-localhost
failed to create 1 machine
ERROR cannot add a new machine: unknown placement directive: pod=pod-localhost

[Nobuto Murata (nobuto)]

"unknown placement directive" seems from this part:
https://github.com/juju/juju/blob/master/provider/maas/environ.go#L589-L602

It could be updated to support "pod" in addition to "zone".

[John A Meinel (jameinel)]

agreed it could be supported
