David Lyle 20cb90c7f7 Adding support for aysnc metrics via collectd
This patch adds a new script, scaling/k8s_scaling_rapid.sh, for
launching pods and collecting metrics. The goal is to two fold.
The first goal is improve the required runtime duration of scaling
to large numbers of pods. k8s_scaling.sh can take up to 29 hours
to scale to 2900 pods. The is largely due to the overhead of
collecting system utilization stats after each new pod is launched.
This new script will collect system utilization stats asynchronously.
The second goal is to make it easier to collect additional system
utilization stats by leveraging the plugins supported by collectd.

Instead of using the stats daemon set, a new daemon set
that runs collectd on each node is added. collectd configuration
is handled by collectd/collectd.conf A configmap is added to the
K8s cluster containing collectd.conf, so the user of the script
can test new configurations easily. The configmap is created and
deleted as part of the test run. The data from collectd is stored on
each node in the cluster via the csv plugin and the data is
collected to the master node at the end of the test run.

Several new pages have been added to the metrics_report.pdf
These pages cover the same metrics as k8s_scale.sh results, but are
populated with data from collectd. Additionally, network interface
results are added.

To run the report, in addition to the previous steps of creating
a new directory and copying the result json file into it, all the
new <node_name>.tar.gz files must be copied in as well.
