Support gnocchi in watcher

Include the URL of your launchpad blueprint:

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/watcher/+spec/gnocchi-watcher

Problem description

Today, Watcher uses Telemetry and Monasca to collect metrics from the cluster. We need to support gnocchi as well since ceilometer v2 API is deprecated.

Use Cases

As administrator, I want to run strategies with Gnocchi support as data source for metrics.

Proposed change

We need to add support to data source gnocchi and implement statistic_aggregation method, which will query from gnocchi service for sample data.

Provide granularity[1] as input parameter to strategies.
