Michal Nasiadka 8670c3f9d3 ovn: Add support for OVN SB Relay
Add support for deploying OVN SB relays [1].
This is enabled by default to improve large scale scenarios.

Default mechanism deploys one relay group per 50 ovn-controller hosts
and uses random but idempotent method to choose a relay for a given host.

neutron-server and Octavia will connect directly to SB cluster, not via
the relays.

kolla-ansible check subcommand does not support ,,iterated'' containers
for now - but will be introduced in a subsequent patch.

features:
- |
Adds support for deploying ``ovn-sb-db-relay``. By default, Kolla
automatically calculates the number of relay groups based on the size of
the ``ovn-controller`` group and the value of
``ovn_sb_db_relay_compute_per_relay`` (50 by default), rounding up. If you
do not want to use relays, set ``enable_ovn_sb_db_relay`` to ``no`` in
``globals.yml``.
upgrade:
- |
When upgrading, the new ``ovn-sb-db-relay`` containers are automatically
deployed unless you explicitly set ``enable_ovn_sb_db_relay`` to ``no``.
There are no special data migration or manual steps required to enable
``ovn-sb-db-relay``; it coexists alongside the existing OVN SB DB cluster.
