 * Ring changes
 * Partition placement no longer uses the port number to place partitions. This improves dispersion in small clusters running one object server per drive, and it does not affect dispersion in clusters running one object server per server.
 * Added ring-builder-analyzer tool to more easily test and analyze a series of ring management operations.
 * Ring validation now warns if a placement partition gets assigned to the same device multiple times. This happens when devices in the ring are unbalanced (e.g. two servers where one server has significantly more available capacity).
