Implement DNS high availability. Pass the correct information to hacluster to register a DNS entry with MAAS 2.0 or greater rather than using a virtual IP. Charm-helpers sync to bring in DNS HA helpers Change-Id: Ifb27cc96b913f4fe315119477691936919684b62

Overview
This principle charm provides the OpenStack Neutron API service which was previously provided by the nova-cloud-controller charm.
When this charm is related to the nova-cloud-controller charm the nova-cloud controller charm will shutdown its api service, de-register it from keystone and inform the compute nodes of the new neutron url.
Usage
To deploy (partial deployment only):
juju deploy neutron-api
juju deploy neutron-openvswitch
juju add-relation neutron-api mysql
juju add-relation neutron-api rabbitmq-server
juju add-relation neutron-api neutron-openvswitch
juju add-relation neutron-api nova-cloud-controller
This charm also supports scale out and high availability using the hacluster charm:
juju deploy hacluster neutron-hacluster
juju add-unit neutron-api
juju set neutron-api vip=<VIP FOR ACCESS>
juju add-relation neutron-hacluster neutron-api
HA/Clustering
There are two mutually exclusive high availability options: using virtual IP(s) or DNS. In both cases, a relationship to hacluster is required which provides the corosync back end HA functionality.
To use virtual IP(s) the clustered nodes must be on the same subnet such that the VIP is a valid IP on the subnet for one of the node's interfaces and each node has an interface in said subnet. The VIP becomes a highly-available API endpoint.
At a minimum, the config option 'vip' must be set in order to use virtual IP HA. If multiple networks are being used, a VIP should be provided for each network, separated by spaces. Optionally, vip_iface or vip_cidr may be specified.
To use DNS high availability there are several prerequisites. However, DNS HA does not require the clustered nodes to be on the same subnet. Currently the DNS HA feature is only available for MAAS 2.0 or greater environments. MAAS 2.0 requires Juju 2.0 or greater. The clustered nodes must have static or "reserved" IP addresses registered in MAAS. The DNS hostname(s) must be pre-registered in MAAS before use with DNS HA.
At a minimum, the config option 'dns-ha' must be set to true and at least one of 'os-public-hostname', 'os-internal-hostname' or 'os-internal-hostname' must be set in order to use DNS HA. One or more of the above hostnames may be set.
The charm will throw an exception in the following circumstances: If neither 'vip' nor 'dns-ha' is set and the charm is related to hacluster If both 'vip' and 'dns-ha' are set as they are mutually exclusive If 'dns-ha' is set and none of the os-{admin,internal,public}-hostname(s) are set
Restrictions
This charm only support deployment with OpenStack Icehouse or better.
Network Space support
This charm supports the use of Juju Network Spaces, allowing the charm to be bound to network space configurations managed directly by Juju. This is only supported with Juju 2.0 and above.
API endpoints can be bound to distinct network spaces supporting the network separation of public, internal and admin endpoints.
Access to the underlying MySQL instance can also be bound to a specific space using the shared-db relation.
To use this feature, use the --bind option when deploying the charm:
juju deploy neutron-api --bind "public=public-space internal=internal-space admin=admin-space shared-db=internal-space"
alternatively these can also be provided as part of a juju native bundle configuration:
neutron-api:
charm: cs:xenial/neutron-api
num_units: 1
bindings:
public: public-space
admin: admin-space
internal: internal-space
shared-db: internal-space
NOTE: Spaces must be configured in the underlying provider prior to attempting to use them.
NOTE: Existing deployments using os-*-network configuration options will continue to function; these options are preferred over any network space binding provided if set.
