use stevedore to load extensions

Importing pkg_resources causes the app to scan the entire import path
for all distributions, not just those providing entry points. The
scanner in stevedore will have a cache of the entry point data, making
it significantly faster. This will be especially useful in command
line programs like python-openstackclient.
