    [placement] Retry allocation writes server side

    This change adds a fast retry loop around
    AllocationList._set_allocations if a resource provider generation
    conflict happens. It turns out that under high concurrency of allocation
    claims being made on the same resource provider conflicts can be quite
    common and client side retries are insufficient.

    Because both consumer generation and resource provider generations had
    raised the same exception there was no way to distinguish between the
    two so a child of ConcurrentUpdateDetected has been created as
    ResourceProviderConcurrentUpdateDetected. In the future this will allow
    us to send different error codes to the client as well, but that change
    is not done here.

    When the conflict is detected, all the resource providers in the
    AllocationList are reloaded and the list objects refreshed.

    Logging is provided to indicate:

    * at debug that a retry is going to happen
    * at warning that all the retries failed and the client is going to
      see the conflict

    The tests for this are a bit funky: Some mocks are used to cause the
    conflicts, then the real actions after a couple of iterations.

    This was backported from 72e4c4c8d7fb146862b899337626485dad10f15b with
    conflicts because exceptions, tests and object files were moved to
    new locations with Rocky and the AllocationList.create_all method was
    renamed to the more accurate replace_all. Prior to Rocky there were
    no Consumer objects and fewer helper methods in functional tests,
    so the test is adjusted accordingly.
