libvirt_volume_path is incorrect

[Lars Kellogg-Stedman]

In roles/common/defaults/main.yml, we default libvirt_volume_path to:

  libvirt_volume_path: "{{ working_dir }}/pool"

But this is wrong! Because working_dir is a path on the *undercloud*:

  working_dir: "/home/{{ undercloud_user }}"

So if you are trying to connect as a user on your virthost that is not the same as the undercloud_user, this will break. If you need a working dir on the virt host, you need to differentiate between the undercloud, the virthost, and the localhost. Or give up and just use $HOME on the undercloud, and use working_dir for the virt host.

I don't think this is ever going to be addressed. I certainly haven't done any quickstart related work recently, and it's been floating around through several releases.
