integrate PSSDConfiguration to distribution

* Integrate the PSSDConfiguration to distribution config parameter.
* Moved related PSSDConfigurationParameterGroup classes from "handling"
  to "parameters" to avoid specified sdc dependency.
* Modify all the test case since the distribution config parameter
  has been changed, update CommonTestData to wrap it.
* Add neccessnary SDC handling exceptions which to be used for
  SDC handler integration.
* update the PSSDCOnfiguraitonParameterGroup to add UUID to the setName
  function to generate unique name for each instance.
* use builder to create PSSDConfigurationParametersGroup instead of using
  many parameters
