    Introduce rootwrap and filter

    If the zun-compute process is owned by a user who doesn't have
    passwordless sudo privilege, zun-compute will fail to run
    privileged command (e.g. sudo privsep-helper ...).

    A native solution is to grant passwordless sudo to the user
    who owns the zun process, but the best practice is to leverage
    Rootwrap [1], which can restrict the privilege escalation.

    This patch make Zun leverage Rootwrap. In particular, it does
    the following:
    * Setup Rootwrap in the Zun devstack plugin
    * Introduce a sample rootwrap config file
    * Introduce sample rootwrap filters for executing privsep-helper
    * Introduce a root helper which basically adds "sudo zun-rootwrap"
      to the beginning of the command to be execute.
    * Initialize privsep to use the Zun's root helper
