John Griffith 6d70d6adf9 Implement new attach Cinder flow
This change integrates support of the Cinder 3.44
volume attachment API.

The patch bumps the compute service version to
check whether all the compute nodes are upgraded to the
version that can handle attach and detach with the new
flow.

To enable the new flow we also need the 3.44 or higher
microversion from Cinder. We check that in the API and
if it's not available we fall back to the old
attach/detach flow.

Nova will now internally use a new flow for new volume attachments when:
* All *nova-compute* services are upgraded
* The *block-storage* 3.44 API microversion is available
This change should be transparent to end users and does not affect existing
volume attachments. Also, this does not affect how new volumes are created
and attached during boot-from-volume when the
``block_device_mapping_v2.source_type`` is ``blank``, ``image`` or
``snapshot`` and the ``block_device_mapping_v2.destination_type`` is
``volume``.
The motivation behind these changes are:
* Track volume attachment state in the block storage service rather than
the compute service (separation of duties, simplicity, etc)
* Removal of technical debt from the compute service long-term
* Enable a foundation on which to build support for multi-attach volumes
