Ghanshyam Mann d4af91f349 Add nova-status upgrade check and reno for policy new defaults
There are cases where policy file is re-generated freshly
and end up having the new defaults only but expectation is that
old deprecated rule keep working.

If a rule is present in policy file then, that has priority over
its defaults so either rules should not be present in policy file
or users need to update their token to match the overridden rule
permission.

This issue was always present when any policy defaults were changed
with old defaults being supported as deprecated. This is we have
changed all the policy for new defaults so it came up as broken case.

Adding nova-status upgrade check also to detect such policy file.

Synopsis
========
::
nova-status <category> <action> [<args>]
Description
===========
:program:`nova-status` is a tool that provides routines for checking the status
of a Nova deployment.
Options
=======
The standard pattern for executing a :program:`nova-status` command is::
nova-status <category> <command> [<args>]
Run without arguments to see a list of available command categories::
nova-status
Categories are:
* ``upgrade``
Detailed descriptions are below.
You can also run with a category argument such as ``upgrade`` to see a list of
all commands in that category::
nova-status upgrade
These sections describe the available categories and arguments for
:program:`nova-status`.
Upgrade
~~~~~~~
.. _nova-status-checks:
``nova-status upgrade check``
Performs a release-specific readiness check before restarting services with
new code. This command expects to have complete configuration and access
to databases and services within a cell. For example, this check may query
the Nova API database and one or more cell databases. It may also make
requests to other services such as the Placement REST API via the Keystone
service catalog.
**Return Codes**
.. list-table::
:widths: 20 80
:header-rows: 1
* - Return code
- Description
* - 0
- All upgrade readiness checks passed successfully and there is nothing
to do.
* - 1
- At least one check encountered an issue and requires further
investigation. This is considered a warning but the upgrade may be OK.
* - 2
- There was an upgrade status check failure that needs to be
investigated. This should be considered something that stops an
upgrade.
* - 255
- An unexpected error occurred.
**History of Checks**
**15.0.0 (Ocata)**
* Checks are added for cells v2 so ``nova-status upgrade check`` should be
run *after* running the ``nova-manage cell_v2 simple_cell_setup``
command.
* Checks are added for the Placement API such that there is an endpoint in
the Keystone service catalog, the service is running and the check can
make a successful request to the endpoint. The command also checks to
see that there are compute node resource providers checking in with the
Placement service. More information on the Placement service can be found
at :placement-doc:`Placement API <>`.
**16.0.0 (Pike)**
* Checks for the Placement API are modified to require version 1.4, that
is needed in Pike and further for nova-scheduler to work correctly.
**17.0.0 (Queens)**
* Checks for the Placement API are modified to require version 1.17.
**18.0.0 (Rocky)**
* Checks for the Placement API are modified to require version 1.28.
* Checks that ironic instances have had their embedded flavors migrated to
use custom resource classes.
* Checks for ``nova-osapi_compute`` service versions that are less than 15
across all cell mappings which might cause issues when querying instances
depending on how the **nova-api** service is configured.
See https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1759316 for details.
* Checks that existing instances have been migrated to have a matching
request spec in the API DB.
**19.0.0 (Stein)**
* Checks for the Placement API are modified to require version 1.30.
* Checks are added for the **nova-consoleauth** service to warn and provide
additional instructions to set **[workarounds]enable_consoleauth = True**
while performing a live/rolling upgrade.
* The "Resource Providers" upgrade check was removed since the placement
service code is being extracted from nova and the related tables are no
longer used in the ``nova_api`` database.
* The "API Service Version" upgrade check was removed since the corresponding
code for that check was removed in Stein.
**20.0.0 (Train)**
* Checks for the Placement API are modified to require version 1.32.
* Checks to ensure block-storage (cinder) API version 3.44 is
available in order to support multi-attach volumes.
If ``[cinder]/auth_type`` is not configured this is a no-op check.
* The "**nova-consoleauth** service" upgrade check was removed since the
service was removed in Train.
* The ``Request Spec Migration`` check was removed.
**21.0.0 (Ussuri)**
* Checks for the Placement API are modified to require version 1.35.
**21.0.0 (Ussuri)**
* Checks for the policy files are not automatically overwritten with
new defaults.
