Alex Dadgar 204ca8230c Device manager
Introduce a device manager that manages the lifecycle of device plugins
on the client. It fingerprints, collects stats, and forwards Reserve
requests to the correct plugin. The manager, also handles device plugins
failing and validates their output.

This package provides an implementation of nvidia device plugin
# Behavior
Nvidia device plugin uses NVML bindings to get data regarding available nvidia devices and will expose them via Fingerprint RPC. GPUs can be excluded from fingerprinting by setting the `ignored_gpu_ids` field. Plugin sends statistics for fingerprinted devices every `stats_period` period.
# Config
The configuration should be passed via an HCL file that begins with a top level `config` stanza:
```
config {
ignored_gpu_ids = ["uuid1", "uuid2"]
fingerprint_period = "5s"
}
```
The valid configuration options are:
* `ignored_gpu_ids` (`list(string)`: `[]`): list of GPU UUIDs strings that should not be exposed to nomad
* `fingerprint_period` (`string`: `"5s"`): The interval to repeat fingerprint process to identify possible changes.
