Matt Riedemann 6b0f82192b Cleanup some issues with CONF.placement.os_interface
This change fixes a few things with the recently added
"os_interface" option in the [placement] config group.

1. It adds tests for the scheduler report client that
   were missing in the original change that added the
   config option.

2. It uses the option in the "nova-status upgrade check"
   command so it is consistent with how the scheduler
   report client uses it.

3. It removes the restrictive choices list from the
   config option definition. keystoneauth1 allows an
   "auth" value for the endpoint interface which means
   don't use the service catalog to find the endpoint
   but instead just read it from the "auth_url" config
   option. Also, the Keystone v3 API performs strict
   validation of the endpoint interface when creating
   an endpoint record. The list of supported interfaces
   may change over time, so we shouldn't encode that
   list within Nova.

4. As part of removing the choices, the release note
   associated with the new option is updated and changed
   from a 'feature' release note to simply 'other' since
   it's not really a feature as much as it is a bug fix.

other:
- The Placement API can be set to connect to a specific
keystone endpoint interface using the ``os_interface``
option in the ``[placement]`` section inside ``nova.conf``.
This value is not required but can be used if a non-default
endpoint interface is desired for connecting to the Placement
service. By default, keystoneauth will connect to the "public"
endpoint.
