What is the current behavior?

It seems that the hpc parameters received by transpiler.compile(..., hpc=..., ...) are not really added to the resulting Qobj - they are checked inside the function, but not used after that. This behaviour is also present in 0.5.7, and it seems we lost that functionality at some point in the past (with no strong side effects it seems :) )

Now that some changes to the transpiler are being done in #705 and related efforts, could we try to clarify if those parameters are really meant to be in use anymore, and act accordingly - either adding them to the returned object, or removing the checks from the code? There is also code in ibmqjob.py that parses them, that might need to be checked depending on the action taken.

Pinging explicitly @ajavadia and @jaygambetta for it!
