Lance Bragstad f36034c8a6 Retry update_user when sqlalchemy raises StaleDataErrors
Keystone's update_user() method in the SQL driver processes a lot of
information about how to update users. This includes evaluating password
logic and authentication attempts for PSI-DSS. This logic is evaluated
after keystone pulls the user record from SQL and before it exits the
context manager, which performs the write.

When multiple clients are all updating the same user reference, it's
more likely they will see an HTTP 500 because of race conditions exiting
the context manager. The HTTP 500 is due to stale data when updating
password expiration for old passwords, which happens when setting a new
password for a user.

This commit attempts to handle that case more gracefully than throwing a
500 by detecting StaleDataErrors from sqlalchemy and retrying.  The
identity sql backend will retry the request for clients that have
stale data change from underneath them.

Conflicts:
      keystone/tests/unit/test_backend_sql.py due to import order
      differences between train and ussuri. Also adjust the expected log
      message since the method path is different compared to older
      releases, which have the driver name in them (e.g., Identity).
