Brian Rosmaita de72ac4a01 Update show_multiple_locations deprecation note
Update logged text to indicate our intentions with respect
to the show_multiple_locations configuration option, which
has been deprecated since Newton and advertised as subject
to removal in Pike.  Also correct the misleading impression
in the deprecation notice and earlier release notes that
functionality that requires show_multiple_locations = True
can be configured via policies at the current time.  Also
adds a release note to this effect.

The ``show_multiple_locations`` configuration option remains deprecated in
this release, but it has not been removed. (It had been scheduled for
removal in the Pike release.) Please keep a watch on the Glance release
notes and the glance-specs repository to stay informed about developments
on this issue.
The plan is to eliminate the option and use only policies to control image
locations access. This, however, requires some major refactoring. See the
`draft Policy Refactor spec <https://review.openstack.org/#/c/528021/>`_
for more information.
There is no projected timeline for this change, as no one has been able to
commit time to it. The Glance team would be happy to discuss this more
with anyone interested in working on it.
The workaround is to continue to use the ``show_multiple_locations`` option
in a dedicated "internal" Glance node that is not accessible to end users.
We continue to recommend that image locations not be exposed to end users.
See `OSSN-0065 <https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OSSN/OSSN-0065>`_ for more
information.
