Jay Faulkner 0eda3d65ea Support Automatic Lessee from instance metadata
Ironic already has support for automatically setting a lessee on
deployment, but it is only supported for direct deployments with Ironic,
as it uses request context which is not preserved in the Nova driver.

Now, when combined with the related Nova change, Ironic can support this
behavior for fully integrated installations. On deploy time, Nova will
set several fields -- including project_id -- in instance info. If
enabled, Ironic will then use that project_id as the automatic lessee.
The previous behavior of using the project_id from the request context
is still supported as a fallback.

This is being tracked in nova as blueprint ironic-guest-metadata.

features:
- |
Ironic now supports automatically setting node.lessee at deployment time
using metadata provided at deploy time, typically by OpenStack Nova. When
``[conductor]/automatic_lessee_source`` is set to ``instance``,
Ironic will set the lessee field on the node and remove it before cleaning.
upgrade:
- |
``[conductor]/automatic_lessee`` has been deprecated in favor of
``[conductor]/automatic_lessee_source``.
Standalone Ironic deployments previously setting ``automatic_lessee`` to
``True`` now may want to set ``automatic_lessee_source`` to ``request`` to
retain existing behavior.
Deployers explicitly setting ``automatic_lessee`` to false may want to set
``automatic_lessee_source`` to ``none`` to retain existing behavior. The
old configuration option, when explicitly set, will be honored until
fully removed.
- |
Ironic will now automatically set the node.lessee field for all
deployments by default when provided in node instance_info at deployment
time. Deployers are encouraged to review their security settings and
Ironic Secure RBAC documentation to ensure no unexpected access is granted.
