Issue MESOS-5174: Update the balloon-framework to run on test clusters
There are a couple of problems with the balloon framework that prevent it from being deployed (easily) on an actual cluster: * The framework accepts 100% of memory in an offer. This means the expected behavior (finish or OOM) is dependent on the offer size. * The framework assumes the {{balloon-executor}} binary is available on each agent. This is generally only true in the build environment or in single-agent test environments. * The framework does not specify CPUs with the executor. This is required by many isolators. * The executor's {{TASK_FINISHED}} logic path was untested and is flaky. * The framework has no metrics. * The framework only launches a single task and then exits. With this behavior, we can't have useful metrics.
