Chris Dent 66a47b7623 [placement] Retry allocation writes server side
This change adds a fast retry loop around
AllocationList._set_allocations if a resource provider generation
conflict happens. It turns out that under high concurrency of allocation
claims being made on the same resource provider conflicts can be quite
common and client side retries are insufficient.

Because both consumer generation and resource provider generations had
raised the same exception there was no way to distinguish between the
two so a child of ConcurrentUpdateDetected has been created as
ResourceProviderConcurrentUpdateDetected. In the future this will allow
us to send different error codes to the client as well, but that change
is not done here.

When the conflict is detected, all the resource providers in the
AllocationList are reloaded and the list objects refreshed.

Logging is provided to indicate:

* at debug that a retry is going to happen
* at warning that all the retries failed and the client is going to
  see the conflict

The tests for this are a bit funky: Some mocks are used to cause the
conflicts, then the real actions after a couple of iterations.

This was backported from 72e4c4c8d7 with
conflicts because exceptions, tests and object files were moved to
new locations with Rocky and the AllocationList.create_all method was
renamed to the more accurate replace_all. Prior to Rocky there were
no Consumer objects and fewer helper methods in functional tests,
so the test is adjusted accordingly.

Operators

To learn how to deploy and configure OpenStack Nova, consult the documentation available online at:

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:

Developers

For information on how to contribute to Nova, please see the contents of the CONTRIBUTING.rst.

Any new code must follow the development guidelines detailed in the HACKING.rst file, and pass all unit tests.
