Public bug reported:

Right now, the compute_nodes.metrics field is defined as a TEXT field
and contains a straight JSON-ified string of the single-level dict of
keys returned by the single monitor currently in the Nova tree: the CPU
monitor.

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/180983/12/specs/liberty/approved/mem-
bw.rst introduces a potential new memory bandwidth monitor class, and we
should evolve the metrics field to be a versioned object field instead
of the flat string field it currently is.

We need to do the following:

1) Change the CPU monitor to return a nova.objects.CPUStats (or similar)
2) Change nova.objects.ComputeNode's metrics field from a String field to a 
nova.objects.VirtMetrics field, which will have as its only field an 
ObjectField('CPUStats')
3) Add data migration functionality that will convert over time the legacy JSON 
serialized metrics data into a serialized versioned object
