gate: hpcloud build timeouts and failures

[Jesse Pretorius]

Apt updates/installs are the most common cause of build timeouts
within HP Cloud gate checks.

Currently we use the Rackspace Ubuntu mirror for all builds. In discussion with openstack-infra it's been noted that the Ubuntu archive mirror is most reliable for them.

Ideally we should determine a strategy that gives us reliability in both cloud providers, but also respects AIO builds by developers in that the configuration is not too gate specific for them.

    Set the Ubuntu mirror used based on the environment

    Apt updates/installs are the most common cause of build timeouts
    within HP Cloud gate checks.

    This patch changes both the AIO and the gate check from using the
    Rackspace Ubuntu mirror for everything to:

    1) The AIO bootstrap will use whichever mirror is already defined
       on the host operating system.

    2) The gate check will use a known mirror which is defined per
       cloud provider. If the cloud provider is not known, or the
       script is being used outside of OpenStack-CI, then the gate
       checkwill fall back to using the AIO's mechanism.

    The idea is to make use of an apt mirror that is as close to the
    instance as possible in order to speed up apt updates and installs.

    Closes-Bug: #1491749
