Tempest plugin support for available services mechanism

[Kiall Mac Innes]

The available services mechanism does not currently support tempest plugins, as it includes several hardcoded lists within tempest itself (tempest/test.py, tempest/config.py) and within devstack (lib/tempest).

An example of this from tempest/test.py:

    def get_service_list():
        service_list = {
            'compute': CONF.service_available.nova,
            'image': CONF.service_available.glance,
            'baremetal': CONF.service_available.ironic,
            'volume': CONF.service_available.cinder,
            'orchestration': CONF.service_available.heat,
            # NOTE(mtreinish) nova-network will provide networking functionality
            # if neutron isn't available, so always set to True.
            'network': True,
            'identity': True,
            'object_storage': CONF.service_available.swift,
            'dashboard': CONF.service_available.horizon,
            'telemetry': CONF.service_available.ceilometer,
            'data_processing': CONF.service_available.sahara,
            'database': CONF.service_available.trove
        }
        return service_list

We should extend or replace these mechanisms to support plugins.

Actually this is something comes up while removing the baremetal tests from tempest - https://review.openstack.org/#/c/355586/

As Tempest recommendation is to keep tempest plugin as separate repo, so it will not be much convenient to install plugin also to check service availability.

My idea is to define service availability flag as list where all available service can be added in list and no presence considered as service not available(like api_extensions flag)

Is this still valid? It's been more than 3 years already, I can't figure out the context this bug was created in.
