4fdd52b058 Update GetTopologyHints() API to return a map
At present, there is no way for a hint provider to return distinct hints
for different resource types via a call to GetTopologyHints(). This
means that hint providers that govern multiple resource types (e.g. the
devicemanager) must do some sort of "pre-merge" on the hints it
generates for each resource type before passing them back to the
TopologyManager.

This patch changes the GetTopologyHints() interface to allow a hint
provider to pass back raw hints for each resource type, and allow the
TopologyManager to merge them using a single unified strategy.

This change also allows the TopologyManager to recognize which
resource type a set of hints originated from, should this information
become useful in the future.

4ee5d5409e Update the topologymanager to error out if an invalid policy is given
Previously, the topologymanager would simply fall back to the None() policy
if an invalid policy was specified. This patch updates this to return an
error when an invalid policy is passed, forcing the kubelet to fail
fast when this occurs.

These semantics should be preferable because an invalid policy likely
indicates operator error in setting the policy flag on the kubelet
correctly (e.g. misspelling 'strict' as 'striict'). In this case it is
better to fail fast so the operator can detect this and correct the
mistake, than to mask the error and essentially disable the
topologymanager unexpectedly.
