Vlad Gusev ec83c69372 Add support for oslo_middleware http_proxy_to_wsgi
This sets up the HTTPProxyToWSGI middleware in front of Octavia API. The
purpose of this middleware is to set up the request URL correctly in
the case there is a proxy (For instance, a loadbalancer such as HAProxy)
in front of Octavia API.

So, when TLS connections are terminated at the proxy, and one tries to
get the versions from the '/' resource from Octavia API, one will notice
that the protocol is incorrect; It will show 'http' instead of 'https'.
So this middleware handles such cases.

The HTTPProxyToWSGI is off by default and needs to be enabled via a
configuration value.

It can be enabled with the option in octavia.conf:
[oslo_middleware]
enable_proxy_headers_parsing=True

request URL correctly in the case that there is a proxy (for example, a
loadbalancer such as HAProxy) in front of the Octavia API. It is off by
default and can be enabled by setting ``enable_proxy_headers_parsing=True``
in the ``[oslo_middleware]`` section of ``octavia.conf``.
