Bug Description

In case neutron.common.config is imported some config options are registered as a side effect without calling any function. This is causing errors for projects that import also other modules that end up importing neutron.common.config - such as neutorn.db.models_v2. If a project needs Neutron basic DB models and uses same config options then there is no way how to make it work. Performing any action on imports is an anti-pattern in Python.

    Don't register config options on imports

    Importing some modules lead to registering config options that may
    collide with config options from a project that calls the import. This
    patch wraps the side effect that registers config options into a
    function that needs to be called in case the caller wants to register
    the options.

    This solution is also not perfect as it guards the common options to be
    registered only once even if the function is called multiple times. This
    is to solve problems in unittests, ideally we should always call the
    function just once even in our testing suites.

    Register common config options by default

    The [1] change modified the behavior Neutron had, which used to
    force the default config options to be automatically set.

    Neutron-dynamic-routing expects some of the default config options
    to be set while initializing some services. If they are not set
    the initialization will fail [2].

    This change invokes the method that sets such config options to
    fix this initialization issue.

    Register common config options in ``MechDriverSetupBase``

    When manually testing any ``MechDriverSetupBase`` child testing class,
    the following error is shown:
      oslo_config.cfg.NoSuchOptError: no such option service_plugins in
      group [DEFAULT]

    To avoid this, this patch registers the common config options during the
    ``MechDriverSetupBase`` setup method. The
    ``register_common_config_options`` will not register the options if are
    alredy registered.

    [UT][ovn] Access config options after they are registered

    It is a follow up of [1]. There were still some tests
    which were accessing config optons before they were registered
    and failing when tested manually just those tests, this
    patch fixes it.
