Ghanshyam Mann fe413fe01d [goal] Deprecate the JSON formatted policy file
As per the community goal of migrating the policy file
the format from JSON to YAML[1], we need to do two things:

1. Change the default value of '[oslo_policy] policy_file''
config option from 'policy.json' to 'policy.yaml' with
upgrade checks.

2. Deprecate the JSON formatted policy file on the project side
via warning in doc and releasenotes.

Also replace policy.json to policy.yaml ref from doc and tests.

.. warning::
JSON formatted policy file is deprecated since Neutron 18.0.0 (Wallaby).
This `oslopolicy-convert-json-to-yaml`__ tool will migrate your existing
JSON-formatted policy file to YAML in a backward-compatible way.

Neutron, like most OpenStack projects, uses a policy language to restrict
permissions on REST API actions.
The following is an overview of all available policies in neutron.
