Adding support for multiple globals files

Added a spec file for this blueprint.
Changed the kolla-ansible script to accept more than one
globals.yml file. That will still be the main one but operators
will be able to create more, under the /etc/kolla/globals.d
directory.
Also added some paragraphs in the quickstart documentation
about this.
Finally, Adding a release note

* Multiple globals files
For a more granular control, enabling any option from the main
``globals.yml`` file can now be done using multiple yml files. Simply,
create a directory called ``globals.d`` under ``/etc/kolla/`` and place
all the relevant ``*.yml`` files in there. The ``kolla-ansible`` script
will, automatically, add all of them as arguments to the ``ansible-playbook``
command.
An example use case for this would be if an operator wants to enable cinder
and all its options, at a later stage than the initial deployment, without
tampering with the existing ``globals.yml`` file. That can be achieved, using
a separate ``cinder.yml`` file, placed under the ``/etc/kolla/globals.d/``
directory and adding all the relevant options in there.
* Virtual environment
It is recommended to use a virtual environment to execute tasks on the remote

- Adds support for multiple globals files.
The main ``globals.yml`` file still exists. In addition to that,
operators can now create a ``globals.d`` directory (next to
``globals.yml``), where they can place any number of ``*.yml`` files,
for example for specific services they want to add.

Add support for multiple globals files
======================================
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/kolla-ansible/+spec/multiple-globals-files
Adding this feature to the kolla-ansible script, which will make it, automatically,
read multiple globals files. This would give operators the ability to have
separate globals files for some services, giving them a bit more granular control,
without the need to add the ``-e @/path/to/file`` flag. These files will be placed
under a new ``/etc/kolla/globals.d`` directory and ``kolla-ansible`` will search
for ``globals.d/*.yml`` files. The main ``globals.yml`` file will still exist
under ``/etc/kolla``, as usual.
Problem description
===================
There's no problem, per say, to solve. This feature will basically give operators
the ability to have separate globals files for some services, giving them a bit
more granular control, without the need to add the ``-e @/path/to/file`` flag.
Use cases
---------
1. Allow a more granular controler over individual service's options
2. Better file and directory structure
Proposed change
===============
- Add the capability in the ``tools/kolla-ansible`` script
- Check if the ``globals.d`` directory exists
- If it is, add its files in the ``CONFIG_OPTS`` variable at the end of the ``tools/kolla-ansible`` script
Security impact
---------------
None
Performance Impact
------------------
None
Implementation
==============

Milestones
----------
Target Milestone for completion:
ussuri-10.0.0
Work Items
----------
- Add the capability in the ``tools/kolla-ansible`` script
- Check if the ``globals.d`` directory exists
- If it is, add its files in the ``CONFIG_OPTS`` variable at the end of the ``tools/kolla-ansible`` script
Testing
=======
Test the new kolla-ansible script when the ``globals.d`` directory exists and
includes some more yml files, as well as when it doesn't exist.
Documentation Impact
====================
``doc/source/user/quickstart.rst`` will need to be updated to include the options discussed in this feature
