Also, minor update to the 2.3 design doc, which was indicating the remove
operation would be `gnt-group del` and not `gnt-group remove` (the latter
being consistent with gnt-node and gnt-instance).

In particular:

  - introduce a "gnt-group" command to hold group-level operations.
  - ditch the concept of "default node group", except for single-group
    clusters.
  - introduce an "alloc_policy" attribute for node groups, indicating
    how they should be treated by automated allocation tools.
  - introduce a "drain" operation on node groups.
  - define iallocator modes for new instance allocation and
    inter-group moves (choosing among all groups, or providing a
    limiting list).
  - indicate and explain that changing the group of a node will be
    initially only supported for nodes that are empty.

A big design doc patch touching three areas related to increasing
scalability in 2.3.

For proper support of job priorities, jobs' locks need to respect
priorities.  Otherwise it could happen that a job with a lower priority
could get a lock before a job with a higher priority (depending on
timeouts and when they start acquiring).

This patch adds support for priorities in SharedLock and LockSet and
provides (unfortunately non-trivial) unittests. Outdated comments are also
adjusted and improved.

To add job priorities, the worker pool underlying the job queue must
support priorities per task. This patch adds them to the worker pool.
