    Description

      Feature service should expose a way to hook into the feature:install process, so components living inside container can understand when a bulk bundle operation starts, ends and reaches a major milestone.

      This ability is needed to optimize OpenDaylight startup/shutdown procedures, as exemplified by https://bugs.opendaylight.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7925 and https://bugs.opendaylight.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7927. In these cases we are scanning deployed bundles for well-known file locations as the bundles get resolved. These files are then used to compile the effective model of the run-time world (which is an expensive operation).

      Since there is no way to understand that an install transaction is going on, the model is invalidated whenever a bundle is resolved and or stopped, leading to multiple compilations (and oftentime failures, as all requirements are not yet met) during a single feature:install invocation or framework shutdown.

      This requires having callbacks invoked from Deployer.deploy() for:
      1) just before any bundle operations are performed
      2) once all bundles have been resolved, but not started
      3) once the operation completes and before the next bundle movement starts
