Goutham Pacha Ravi a75fe3d7cc Allow configuration of a back end specific availability zone
"storage_availability_zone" in the [DEFAULT] section of
manila's configuration file has allowed deployers to configure
and manage both service (scheduler, share manager) and storage
system availability. However, quite often manila's services
(api, scheduler, share and data managers) are run on a dedicated
control plane that is a different failure domain from that of
the storage that manila manages.

Also, when using share replication, deployers would need to
run multiple manila share manager services with different
configuration files, each with their own
"storage_availability_zone".

To allow flexibility of separating service and storage
availability zones, we introduce a new configuration option
"backend_availability_zone" within the share driver/backend
section. When this option is used, it will override the value
of the "storage_availability_zone" from the [DEFAULT] section.

features:
- |
Availability zones may now be configured per backend in a multi-backend
configuration. Individual back end sections can now have the configuration
option ``backend_availability_zone`` set. If set, this value will override
the ``storage_availability_zone`` option from the [DEFAULT] section.
upgrade:
- The ``storage_availability_zone`` option can now be overridden per
backend by using the ``backend_availability_zone`` option within the
backend stanza. This allows enabling multiple storage backends that may
be deployed in different AZs in the same ``manila.conf`` file if
desired, simplifying service architecture around the Share Replication
feature.
