Gorka Eguileor 384cb34868 Prevent Active-Active on drivers by default
Active-Active configurations are not trivial, and therefore vendors need
to check that their drivers support these configurations and have no
issues.

Since users will most likely assume that once Active-Active is available
as a core functionality all drivers will be supporting it this could
lead to data loss, data corruption, or just bad user experience.

In order to prevent this, without a full Active-Active test suite, we
will rely on vendor "auto certification".

What this means is that Cinder won't allow any driver to start in an
Active-Active configuration by default until the vendor has tested their
driver's readiness and explicitly set in the code.

Vendors will set SUPPORTS_ACTIVE_ACTIVE class attribute to True in their
drivers to reflect the driver's readiness, or if the readiness depends
on some configuration options they can leave the class attribute with
the default False value and just set it as an instance attribute in
their __init__ method.
