    [placement] Don't use floats in microversion handling
    
    When microversioned request handling was added to placement some
    comparisons were added that treat the microversions as floats. This
    will break as soon as the right hand side of the version chnages
    from one digit to two. A float of 1.1 and 1.10 is the same. A
    version string of '1.1' and '1.10' is not.
    
    This patch changes the internals of version handling to always use
    Version objects which represent the versions using a name tuple
    (major=1, minor=10). It also changes the externals to expect versions
    as strings ('1.10'). Where floats were present before, these have
    been changed to strings. Where tuples have been accepted, these are
    still accepted, but strings are as well.
    
    This is an internal only change, users shouldn't notice any
    difference as their versions (in the openstack-api-version header)
    were always strings and we haven't made it to version 1.10, sorry
    '1.10', yet.
    
    If developers try to version_handler with something other than a
    version string, test runs will fail very early (at import time).

Title:
  placement microversion comparisons are sometimes floats

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In a few different places in the placement API (as of version 1.5)
  there are microversion comparisons which are based on floats. This
  means that version 1.20 will evaluate as "older" than 1.3, which
  totally wrong.

  This is pretty much my bad, so I'm glad I noticed just now. We've got
  a bit of time to fix this (before 1.10) comes along, but should get to
  it soon.

  Sigh.
