Yep. Turns out StatelessServiceSpec is insufficient for all non-trivial
deployments and needed to be extended, like NFSServiceSpec or RGWSpec.
At some point, we might need an MDSSpec, too? Depends a bit on what an
MDS needs.

I'm in the process of renaming `svg_arg`s to proper names, like `zone`.
Feel to rename this.

We use this to set the name of the Rook CR, and this is afaik still
supposed to be the fs name.

You could add a field `hosts` to PlacementSpec of type `List[str]`. We
need this for all stateless services for the ssh orch anyway. Let's add
it now.

add creates a completely new "service" (aka group of physical daemons).
Update is supposed to add and remove daemons from this service. `update`
is not supposed to call add or rm.
`add` creates a new "group of daemons" (aka "service")
`rm` removes the whole group of daemons
`update` deploys new daemons to an existing group.

I'd be +1 for keeping the deployment 100% predictable at this time.

I'm not yet into pros, cons and use cases of different low level
scheduling mechanisms.
