Even if a plugin sends back an empty `[]*device.DeviceGroup`, it's transformed to `nil` during the RPC. Our custom device plugin is returning empty `FingerprintResponse.Devices` very often. Our temporary fix is to send a dummy `*DeviceGroup` if the slice is empty. This has the effect of never triggering the "first fingerprint" and therefore timing out after 50s.
In turn, this made our node exceed its hearbeat grace period when restarting it, revoking all vault tokens for its allocations, causing a restart of all our allocations because the token couldn't be renewed.
Removing the logic for `f.Devices == nil` does not appear to affect the functionality of the function.
Introduce a device manager that manages the lifecycle of device plugins
on the client. It fingerprints, collects stats, and forwards Reserve
requests to the correct plugin. The manager, also handles device plugins
failing and validates their output.
