make locator pluggable/abstract
-------------------------------

                 Key: CASSANDRA-3834
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3834
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Core
            Reporter: Peter Schuller


Make the locator pluggable, such that we can use something other than
gissip to discover ring topology.

This is in part for CASSANDRA-3833, but is also useful because we want
something simpler and more reliable than gossip on production
clusters. At minimum we must be able to hit our nodes with a clue bat
in emergencies ("no this node is NOT in state Normal damn it"), even if
we were to normally rely on gossip.
