Support benchmarking clouds that are using LDAP

Use Case

A lot of production clouds are using LDAP with read only access. It means that load can be generated only by existing in system users and there is no admin access.

Problem Description

Rally is using admin access to create temporary users that will be used to produce load.

Possible Solution

Add some way to pass already existing users

Current Solution

Allow the user to specify existing users in the configuration of the ExistingCloud deployment plugin
When such an ExistingCloud deployment is active, and the benchmark task file does not specify the "users" context, use the existing users instead of creating the temporary ones.
Modify the rally show ... commands to list resources for each user separately.
