What type of PR is this?
/kind feature

What this PR does / why we need it:
This PR adds a new optional extension point, the PreSchedule plugin. This plugin when specified is invoked by the Director before the scheduler is invoked. In particular it is in charge of getting the candidate pods to be filtered and scored by the scheduling process.

The new PreSchedule plugin enables more sophisticated pod selection strategies.

This is particularly useful in cases where one is using an autoscaler in a cluster of many InferencePools that are "sharing" a set of GPUs. In periods of inactivity for some particular model, one might want to scale its InferencePool to zero and use the freed up GPU in another InferencePool. When requests for the model that was scaled to zero come in, one would want to scale that InferencePool up from zero, in order to process the requests.

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?:

  • A new extension point has been added, the PreSchedule plugin, which can be used for more sophisticated pod selection algorithms.

Discussed with @nirrozenbaum. We likely will need a proposal or an issue for an extension of the framework as this is a novel addition
