[Hawkular-dev] Has to provide tenant header to look up tenant

[Lukas Krejci]

Inventory's REST API currently doesn't have a mechanism to tell you the list 
of tenants it knows about.

I'm not sure it actually is a desirable thing to do, because the knowledge of 
tenant IDs are an external concern that might be up for some kind of 
authorization checks that are out of control of inventory. As such, inventory 
just goes with the tenant ID you give it and assumes you are authorized to 
know it.

The tenant endpoint exists solely because you can ask questions about the 
tenant (of which you only know the ID otherwise) like what properties are 
stored with it, what relationships it participates in, etc.
