Deployment of containerised OpenStack to bare metal using kolla and bifrost

1. Use stable/queens as version of kolla-ansible in ansible tests Instead of always checking out the master branch, use the kolla-ansible branch with which this Kayobe version is meant to be used. This is based on change I074d4b9d444649ecf956d3cd92748862e8c89a5c, though we cannot use {{ openstack_branch }} which was introduced with Stein. We hardcode stable/queens instead, as we did in stable/rocky with change I344b1e90d34e0c8e2fb30331038b296ac89449b1. 2. Install python-openstackclient using upper constraints Detect current branch from .gitreview and use upper constraints to install python-openstackclient, to guarantee compatibility with the Python version in use. This is cherry picked from commit |

Kayobe
Kayobe enables deployment of containerised OpenStack to bare metal.
Containers offer a compelling solution for isolating OpenStack services, but running the control plane on an orchestrator such as Kubernetes or Docker Swarm adds significant complexity and operational overheads.
The hosts in an OpenStack control plane must somehow be provisioned, but deploying a secondary OpenStack cloud to do this seems like overkill.
Kayobe stands on the shoulders of giants:
- OpenStack bifrost discovers and provisions the cloud
- OpenStack kolla builds container images for OpenStack services
- OpenStack kolla-ansible delivers painless deployment and upgrade of containerised OpenStack services
To this solid base, kayobe adds:
- Configuration of cloud host OS & flexible networking
- Management of physical network devices
- A friendly openstack-like CLI
All this and more, automated from top to bottom using Ansible.

Features
- Heavily automated using Ansible
- kayobe Command Line Interface (CLI) for cloud operators
- Deployment of a seed VM used to manage the OpenStack control plane
- Configuration of physical network infrastructure
- Discovery, introspection and provisioning of control plane hardware using OpenStack bifrost
- Deployment of an OpenStack control plane using OpenStack kolla-ansible
- Discovery, introspection and provisioning of bare metal compute hosts using OpenStack ironic and ironic inspector
- Virtualised compute using OpenStack nova
