New releases of oslo.config support a 'mutable' parameter to Opts. This is only respected when the new method mutate_config_files is called instead of reload_config_files. Nova delegates making this call to oslo.service, so how do we switch? Icec3e664f3fe72614e373b2938e8dee53cf8bc5e allows services to tell oslo.service they want mutate_config_files to be called by passing a parameter, which this patch does. This allows Nova to benefit from I1e7a69de169cc85f4c09954b2f46ce2da7106d90, where the 'debug' option (owned by oslo.log) is made mutable. IE when all these patches merge, we should be able to turn debug logging on and off by changing the config and sending SIGHUP. Further patches will make selected Nova options mutable.
