volume controller: Convert PersistentVolumes from Kubernetes 1.2
In Kubernetes 1.2 we used template PersistentVolume for provisioning. When a claim for dynamic volume was detected, Kubernetes did:
- create template PV for the claim with dummy pointer to storage asset
- allocate storage asset such as AWS EBS
- fill real pointer to the created storage asset to the template PV
In refactored volume provisioner, Kubernetes allocates the storage asset first and then creates a Kubernetes PV instance already with the correct pointer to the storage asset.
To support seamles upgrade from 1.2 to 1.3 we need to remove these unprovisioned template PVs. The new controller does not use them, it will see PVC for dynamic provisioning and create real PV instead.
See https://github.com/pmorie/pv-haxxz/pull/3 for pseudocode.

Controller.HasSynced() returns true when all initial claims/volumes were sent
to appropriate goroutines, not when the goroutine has actually processed them.

Fill controller caches on startup
The controller needs to fill its caches before it starts binding/recycling/ deleting or provisioning volumes and claims. This was done using blocking initial 'xxx added' from going through syncClaim/syncVolume. However, when the caches were full, the controller waited for the next sync period to do actual binding/recycling etc.
In this patch, the controller fills its caches directly from etcd and then processes initial 'xxx added' events to reconcile the world and bind/recycle/ delete/provision stuff, resulting in faster binding after startup.
Fixes#25967 (properly)
Reactor must be locked when fiddling with reactor.volumes and reactor.claims.
Therefore add new functions to add/delete volume/claim with sending an event.
Remove test "5-1", it's flaky as it depends on order of execution of
goroutines. When the controller starts, existing claim is enqueued as
"initial sync event" and a new volume is enqueued to separate goroutine.
It is not deterministic which goroutine processes its events first and
there is no way how to tell that the claim event was processed.
Also, force resync of the controllers after the test to make sure all
events are processed.

volume controller: Add cache with the latest version of PVs and PVCs
When the controller binds a PV to PVC, it saves both objects to etcd. However, there is still an old version of these objects in the controller Informer cache. So, when a new PVC comes, the PV is still seen as available and may get bound to the new PVC. This will be blocked by etcd, still, it creates unnecessary traffic that slows everything down.
To make everything worse, when periodic sync with the old PVC is performed, this PVC is seen by the controller as Pending (while it's already Bound on etcd) and will be bound to a different PV. Writing to this PV won't be blocked by etcd, only subsequent write of the PVC fails. So, the controller will need to roll back the PV in another transaction(s). The controller can keep itself pretty busy this way.
Also, we save bound PVs (and PVCs) as two transactions - we save say PV.Spec first and then .Status. The controller gets "PV.Spec updated" event from etcd and tries to fix the Status, as it seems to the controller it's outdated. This write again fails - there already is a correct version in etcd.
As we can't influence the Informer cache, it is read-only to the controller, this patch introduces second cache in the controller, which holds latest and greatest version on PVs and PVCs to prevent these useless writes to etcd . It gets updated with events from etcd *and* after etcd confirms successful save of PV/PVC modified by the controller.
The cache stores only *pointers* to PVs/PVCs, so in ideal case it shares the actual object data with the informer cache. They will diverge only for a short time when the controller modifies something and the informer cache did not get update events yet.

- remove persistentvolume_ prefix from all files
- split controller.go into controller.go and controller_base.go (to have them
under 1500 lines for github)
