CLOUDSTACK-6047: Introduce QueryCommand

QueryCommand is a kind of command which request the state rather than configure.
QueryCommands need to be executed immediately and cannot be aggregated.

> Currently VR has an scalability issue during the large deployment. Everytime when VR need to be re-create or reboot, CloudStack would send lots of programming commands to it. VR would treat them as individual commands then execute them. In large deployment, it would take tens of minutes or even hours to complete all the necessary updates, like setup DHCP and programming firewall.
> For example, in the past, everytime we setup DHCP in VR, we need to restart dnsmasq service for every programming, which is very time consuming. Though we've introduced a way to reload without restart dnsmasq, but the same issue existed with apache2 and other services as well. And every SSH to VR would also time consuming. 
> The new approach of reprogramming VR, would help greatly on this issue, and hopefully great reduce the VR programming time. It would introduce a mechanism to "aggregate" the commands to be executed, and do it in one batch inside VR. And restart the related services(if necesary) only after the whole batch is completed. The configuration would be transfer to VR in one piece as well, eliminate any unnecessary ssh.
> We would expect in such scenario, most configuration would only be text update and involve no more time consuming operations. We would leave every possible time consuming operation to the end of execution of aggregated commands.
