Brian Rosmaita 1631742f43 Correct group:reset_group_snapshot_status policy
The default value for the group:reset_group_snapshot_status policy, which
governs the Block Storage API call "Reset group snapshot status" [0],
was changed to admin-or-owner during refactoring for the policy-in-code
initiative in Queens [1].  Consensus at the Wallaby R-18 mid-cycle was
that this change was a mistake that should be corrected [2].

This release contains a fix for `Bug #1908315
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1908315>`_, which changes the
default value of the policy governing the Block Storage API action
`Reset group snapshot status
<https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/block-storage/v3/#reset-group-snapshot-status>`_
to make the action administrator-only. This policy was inadvertently
changed to be admin-or-owner during the Queens development cycle.
The policy is named ``group:reset_group_snapshot_status``.
* If you have a custom value for this policy in your cinder policy
configuration file, this change to the default value will not affect
you.
* If you have been aware of this regression and like the current
(incorrect) behavior, you may add the following line to your cinder
policy configuration file to restore that behavior::
"group:reset_group_snapshot_status": "rule:admin_or_owner"
This setting is *not recommended* by the Cinder project team, as it
may allow end users to put a group snapshot into an invalid status with
indeterminate consequences.
For more information about the cinder policy configuration file, see the
`policy.yaml
<https://docs.openstack.org/cinder/latest/configuration/block-storage/samples/policy.yaml.html>`_
section of the Cinder Configuration Guide.

`Bug #1908315 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1908315>`_: Corrected
the default checkstring for the ``group:reset_group_snapshot_status``
policy to make it admin-only. This policy governs the Block Storage API
action `Reset group snapshot status
<https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/block-storage/v3/#reset-group-snapshot-status>`_,
which by default is supposed to be an adminstrator-only action.
