Jay Mehta 0bbf54f84f HPE 3PAR driver pool support
3PAR driver so far did not support multiple pools per backend.
This patch aims to allow support for multiple pools per backend.

The configuration now accepts multiple pool entries per backend.
In manila.conf, hpe3par_fpg was used to represent one pool (FPG in
terms of 3PAR) under a backend. Now, hpe3par_fpg can be used multiple
times within a backend, each entry will represent a pool (FPG name).

Sample configuration to supply pools 'testfpg' and 'sharenetfpg':
hpe3par_fpg = sharenetfpg, 10.50.158.8
hpe3par_fpg = testfpg, 10.50.158.7

Note that the configuration now also accepts IP address of share
server. 3PAR supports up to 4 IP addresses per share server. So the
format to supply multiple share server IP addresses per pool:
hpe3par_fpg = fpgname, IPaddress1, IPaddress2, IPaddress3, IPaddress4

If the share server is already setup and configured with IP address,
it need not be passed with hpe3par_fpg.

When DHSS=True, the format remains same as above, except the IP
address of share server is silently ignored if provided.

Obsoletes: hpe3par_share_ip_address from config

Release note added.

features:
- HPE 3PAR driver now supports configuring multiple pools per backend.
upgrade:
- HPE 3PAR driver no longer uses hpe3par_share_ip_address option in
configuration. With pool support, configuration just requires
hpe3par_fpg option or optionally supply share IP address(es) along with
hpe3par_fpg.
