Review request for mesos and Benjamin Hindman.


Changes
-------

Updated to Ben M's review.


Description
-------

Currently, every time we do an allocation we have to traverse the entire list 
of active slaves an check each one to see if its whitelisted and if it has 
resources to allocate. This patch keeps a set of all slaves that meet those 
requirements, and updates it when slaves are added/removed and when resources 
are allocated/recovered.

Timing comparisons, using test_framework on a local cluster on my laptop (each 
number is an average over 10 tests):

100 slaves, 100 tasks
without patch: 5.82s
with patch: 5.773s
improvement of about 1%

1000 slaves, 100 tasks
without patch: 8.261s
with patch: 8.07s
improvement of about 2%

Since this was a scalability issue, you'd presumably see a bigger improvement 
in larger clusters but its difficult to simulate more than 1000 slaves or so 
locally. If more convincing numbers are needed I can do some testing on EC2 (if 
nothing else, I'm hoping we'll have a Jenkins build with automated performance 
tests set up later this semester, so I can test this in the process of setting 
that up), but at the very least it seems clear that the patch improves the 
runtime complexity of the allocation algorithm and doesn't slow allocations 
down even in small clusters.
