Failed to create combination alarm with aodhclient

[Yurii Prokulevych]

According to the developer's guide 'combination' alarms are available(supported?) - http://docs.openstack.org/developer/aodh/architecture.html#combination

Also, it can be created POSTing data directly to the API endpoint.

aodh --debug alarm create --type combination --name 'AClient-Combination-1' --description 'AodhClient-Combination-Alarm' --state ok --severity moderate --enabled True --alarm-action 'log://' --ok-action 'log://' --insufficient-data-action 'log://' --repeat-actions True --operator or --alarm_ids 9a4ca39e-0881-4d75-81fb-427bfc0a49b9 --alarm_ids 9a4ca39e-0881-4d75-81fb-427bfc0a49b9
...
aodh alarm create: error: argument -t/--type: invalid choice: 'combination' (choose from 'threshold', 'event', 'composite', 'gnocchi_resources_threshold', 'gnocchi_aggregation_by_metrics_threshold', 'gnocchi_aggregation_by_resources_threshold')

Packages:
aodhclient==0.4.0
openstack-aodh*-2.0.0-1.el7ost.noarch

Yes, there is a gap that aodhclient doesn't support combination alarms, because we already decide to deprecate it

but considering compatibility, we'd better add such support, as ceilometerclient is no longer suitable for alarming service
