Redesigns Power Module to enable any Host and VM to have power capacity. Enables power-aware simulations using regular classes such as `DatacenterSimple`, `HostSimple` and `VmSimple`. This way, it automatically allows creating simulations that are both network- and power-aware by using the network versions of such classes. - Merges PowerDatacenter into the DatacenterSimple and removes the first one. Removes useless prints and code. - Adds PowerSupply interface to concentrate all power consumption data and operations, enabling any Host to get such an information, including the PowerModel. - Merges the PowerHost into the HostSimple and removes the first one. - Adds VmUtilizationHistory class to store resource utilization history by a given VM. - Removes PowerVm and adds an attribute of this class inside the Vm, in order to store utilization data. The VmUtilizationHistory.enabled attribute allows enabling/disabling the data collection (which is disabled by default to save memory) - Moves StateHistory from HostDynamicWorkloadSimple to HostSimple and adds attribute stateHistoryEnabled to allow enabling or disabling collection and storage of such states (it is disabled by default). - Renamed package org.cloudbus.cloudsim.allocationpolicies.power to org.cloudbus.cloudsim.allocationpolicies.migration and removed the prefix Power from its classes and interfaces, since these allocation policies aren't used just for power-aware simulations anymore, but to enable VM migrations in general. - Refactors VmAllocationPolicy implementations, mainly the VmAllocationPolicyAbstract and VmAllocationPolicySimple. Duplicated code between different classes were fixed. Methods were moved to upper levels to provide a common implementation for several classes. Changed the method `Host findHostForVm(final Vm vm) to `Optional<Host> findHostForVm(final Vm vm)`, making it to return an Optional to explicitly indicate that a suitable Host may not be found for a given VM. The method was defined as protected abstract in the VmAllocationPolicyAbstract and it's the single method initially required to be implemented by subclasses of VmAllocationPolicyAbstract. These changes pave the way to close issue #76. - Refactors migration examples and prints CPU utilization and power usage in MigrationExample2_PowerUsage. - Exchanges all references from PowerVm to VmSimple - Exchanged all references from PowerHost to HostSimple - Exchanged all references from PowerDatacenter to DatacenterSimple Signed-off-by: Manoel Campos <manoelcampos@gmail.com>

FEATURE
Interfaces such as Datacenter, Host, Vm and Cloudlet have different implementing classes that provide specialised behaviour such as either network-enabled or power-aware objects. However, using inheritance to implement different kinds of such objects limits the use of just one kind of object at a given simulation. For instance, it is not possible to have a network and power-aware kind of Host. The only way would be creating a new NetworkPowerHost class that join the behaviour of both hosts.
Detailed information about how the feature should work
There must be just the basic DatacenterSimple, HostSimple, VmSimple and CloudletSimple classes. The complementary behaviour must be provided using composition instead of inheritance. This way, any object will be allowed to have multiple behaviours, such as network or power consumption. New behaviours would even be added at runtime when an object is instantiated.
An example scenario where this feature should be used
It would be possible to build a simulation that aims to assess the power consumption of network-enabled objects such as Datacenters, Hosts and VMs.
A brief explanation of why you think this feature is useful
This feature will move CloudSim Plus to a next level, allowing the composition of different behaviours for simulation objects and then the modelling of even more realistic simulation scenarios.
It will allow defining different behaviour classes such as Network, Power and so on that could be mixed together in any way and number.
