yuval brave beb2879793 Lightbits LightOS driver
This commit introduces the LightOS driver for cinder.
LightOS is a software-defined disaggregated clustered storage solution
running on commodity servers with commodity SSDs.
It is developed by Lightbits Labs (https://www.lightbitslabs.com)
and is actively developed and maintained.
LightOS is proprietary but the openstack drivers are
licensed under Apache v2.0.

The Cinder driver for LightOS currently supports the
 following functionality:

Create volume
Delete volume
Attach volume
Detach volume
Create image from volume
create volume from image
Live migration
Volume replication
Thin provisioning
Multi-attach
Extend volume
Create snapshot
Delete snapshot
Create volume from snapshot
Create volume from volume (clone)

This driver has been developed and has been in use for a couple
of years by Lightbits and our clients.
We have tested it extensively internally with multiple openstack
versions, including Queens, Rocky, Stein, and Train.
We have also tested it with master (19.1 xena) and we are working to
extend testing to cover additional openstack releases.

We are glad to join the openstack community and hope to get your
feedback and comments on this driver, and if it is acceptable,
to see it merged into the tree.
