* Update HPA docs with more algorithm details

The HPA docs pointed to an out-of-date document for information on the
algorithm details, which users were finding confusing.  This sticks a
section on the algorithm in the HPA docs instead, documenting both
general behavior and corner cases.

* Add glossary info, HPA docs on quantities

People often ask about the quantity notation when working with the
metrics APIs, so this adds a glossary entry on quantities (since they're
used elsewhere in the system), and a short explantation in the HPA walkthough.

This adds information about the new changes to HPA readiness and
stabilization from kubernetes/features#591, and other minor changes that

### Autoscaling on more specific metrics
Many metrics pipelines allow you to describe metrics either by name or by a set of additional
descriptors called _labels_. For all non-resource metric types (pod, object, and external,
described below), you can specify an additional label selector which is passed to your metric
pipeline. For instance, if you collect a metric `http_requests` with the `verb`
label, you can specify the following metric block to scale only on GET requests:
```yaml
type: Object
object:
metric:
name: `http_requests`
selector: `verb=GET`
```
This selector uses the same syntax as the full Kubernetes label selectors. The monitoring pipeline
determines how to collapse multiple series into a single value, if the name and selector
match multiple series. The selector is additive, and cannot select metrics
that describe objects that are **not** the target object (the target pods in the case of the `Pods`
type, and the described object in the case of the `Object` type).

Using external metrics requires a certain level of knowledge of your monitoring system, and it requires a cluster

based on any metric available in your monitoring system by providing a `metricName` field in your

If your metric describes work or resources that can be divided between autoscaled pods the `targetAverageValue`
field describes how much of that work each pod can handle. Instead of using the `targetAverageValue` field, you could use the
`targetValue` to define a desired value of your external metric.
When possible, it's preferrable to use the custom metric target types instead of external metrics, since it's
easier for cluster administrators to secure the custom metrics API. The external metrics API potentially allows
access to any metric, so cluster administrators should take care when exposing it.

each of their current states. More details on scale sub-resource can be found
[here](https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/design-proposals/autoscaling/horizontal-pod-autoscaler.md#scale-subresource).
### Algorithm Details
From the most basic perspective, the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler controller
operates on the ratio between desired metric value and current metric
value:
```
desiredReplicas = ceil[currentReplicas * ( currentMetricValue / desiredMetricValue )]
```
For example, if the current metric value is `200m`, and the desired value
is `100m`, the number of replicas will be doubled, since `200.0 / 100.0 ==
2.0` If the the current value is instead `50m`, we'll halve the number of
replicas, since `50.0 / 100.0 == 0.5`. We'll skip scaling if the ratio is
sufficiently close to 1.0 (within a globally-configurable tolerance, from
the `--horizontal-pod-autoscaler-tolerance` flag, which defaults to 0.1).
When a `targetAverageValue` or `targetAverageUtilization` is specified,
the `currentMetricValue` is computed by taking the average of the given
metric across all Pods in the HorizontalPodAutoscaler's scale target.
Before checking the tolerance and deciding on the final values, we take
pod readiness and missing metrics into consideration, however.
All Pods with a deletion timestamp set (i.e. Pods in the process of being
shut down) and all failed Pods are discarded.
If a particular Pod is missing metrics, it is set aside for later; Pods
with missing metrics will be used to adjust the final scaling amount.
When scaling on CPU, if any pod has yet to become ready (i.e. it's still
initializing) *or* the most recent metric point for the pod was before it
became ready, that pod is set aside as well.
Due to technical constraints, the HorizontalPodAutoscaler controller
cannot exactly determine the first time a pod becomes ready when
determinining whether to set aside certain CPU metrics. Instead, it
considers a Pod "not yet ready" if it's unready and transitioned to
unready within a short, configurable window of time since it started.
This value is configured with the `--horizontal-pod-autoscaler-initial-readiness-delay` flag, and its default is 30
seconds. Once a pod has become ready, it considers any transition to
ready to be the first if it occurred within a longer, configurable time
since it started. This value is configured with the `--horizontal-pod-autoscaler-cpu-initialization-period` flag, and its
default is 5 minutes.
The `currentMetricValue / desiredMetricValue` base scale ratio is then
calculated using the remaining pods not set aside or discarded from above.
If there were any missing metrics, we recompute the average more
conservatively, assuming those pods were consuming 100% of the desired
value in case of a scale down, and 0% in case of a scale up. This dampens
the magnitude of any potential scale.
Futhermore, if any not-yet-ready pods were present, and we would have
scaled up without factoring in missing metrics or not-yet-ready pods, we
conservatively assume the non-yet-ready pods are consuming 0% of the
desired metric, further dampening the magnitude of a scale up.
After factoring in the not-yet-ready pods and missing metrics, we
recalculate the usage ratio. If the new ratio reverses the scale
direction, or is within the tolerance, we skip scaling. Otherwise, we use
the new ratio to scale.
Note that the *original* value for the average utilization is reported
back via the HorizontalPodAutoscaler status, without factoring in the
not-yet-ready pods or missing metrics, even when the new usage ratio is
used.
If multiple metrics are specified in a HorizontalPodAutoscaler, this
calculation is done for each metric, and then the largest of the desired
replica counts is chosen. If any of those metrics cannot be converted
into a desired replica count (e.g. due to an error fetching the metrics
from the metrics APIs), scaling is skipped.
Finally, just before HPA scales the target, the scale reccomendation is recorded. The
controller considers all reccomendations within a configurable window choosing the
highest recommendation from within that window. This value can be configured using the `--horizontal-pod-autoscaler-downscale-stabilization-window` flag, which defaults to 5 minutes.
This means that scaledowns will occur gradually, smothing out the impact of rapidly
fluctuating metric values.

Kubernetes 1.6 adds support for scaling based on multiple metrics. You can use the `autoscaling/v2beta2` API

Kubernetes 1.6 adds support for making use of custom metrics in the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler.
You can add custom metrics for the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler to use in the `autoscaling/v2beta1` API.
You can add custom metrics for the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler to use in the `autoscaling/v2beta2` API.
Kubernetes then queries the new custom metrics API to fetch the values of the appropriate custom metrics.
