Update layout docs for running console proxies

Browse Source 
As of Rocky, the cell databases are being used for storing console
authorizations, so the layout for running console proxies has
changed from global to a deployment to per cell.

Consoleauth service and console proxies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The consoleauth service should be global across all cells and thus be
configured as an API-level service with access to the
``[api_database]/connection`` information. The various console proxies
should also be global across all cells but they don't need access to the
API database.
`As of Rocky`__, the ``nova-consoleauth`` service has been deprecated and cell
databases are used for storing token authorizations. All new consoles will be
supported by the database backend and existing consoles will be reset. Console
proxies must be run per cell because the new console token authorizations are
stored in cell databases.
Future work will deprecate the consoleauth service, store token
authorizations in the cell databases, and require console proxies running
per cell instead of globally.
