Clay Gerrard a8bd2f737c Add dispersion command to swift-ring-builder
Output a dispersion report that shows how many parts have each replica count
at each tier along with some additional context.  Also the max_dispersion is a
good canary for what a reasonable overload might be.

Also display a warning on rebalance if the ring's dispersion is sub-optimal.

The primitive form of the dispersion graph is cached on the builder, but the
dispersion command will build it on the fly if you have a ring that was last
rebalanced before the change.

Also add --force option to rebalance to make it write a ring even if less than
1% of parts moved.

Try to clarify some dispersion and balance a little bit in the ring section of
the architectural overview.
