(TWILL-211) use ALLOCATE_ONE_INSTANCE_AT_A_TIME for retries to prevent⦠⦠poll starvation. These changes fix a lingering bug identified by the tests for TWILL-181. When creating a runnable container request, we check for number of instances equal to one. For such cases we always set the allocation request to use `ALLOCATE_ONE_INSTANCE_AT_A_TIME`. When retries occur, each failed instance results in a single provision request, each asking for one instance. But if `ALLOCATE_ONE_INSTANCE_AT_A_TIME` is _not_ set, the `handleCompleted` code will never consider the request satisfied since it is waiting for all instances to have been started. The check for `null` at line 469 is necessary because these new provision requests do not have a placement policy.
