Nitin Mehta updated CLOUDSTACK-8181:
------------------------------------
Description:
1) In the host allocator, under a given cluster, we list all the hosts which
match host tags
2) We iterate over this list of hosts and for each host check that the host has
capacity or not
3) We return the first host found having capacity.
4) This causes usually the same host to get all the VMs until it goes out of
capacity
5) So the change needed is return the host which has maximum free capacity from
the list of hosts, instead of the first fit

6) Since this is not a fix but kind of a mini-feature, we need QA tests to
check that the order used by the allocator is correctly working.
