[RFE] Allow users to run oooq from any host OS, from a container

[Bogdan Dobrelya]

The usecase:
As a OOOQ user, I want to deploy OOO from the localhost running non centos/rhel 7.x OS type.
I have a centos7 container and ansible inventory, a play file and custom vars [0] to deploy with the oooq off-road (like described in the blog post [1]), which is running ansible-playbook directly. That container wraps the oooq installer and allows it to operate the host's libvirt and kvm. In order to achieve that, a few minor changes required to oooq playbooks.

This is probably more a wishlist than a medium

    Ignore libvirt start if running chrooted

    The use case is when running oooq from a
    privileged container. For examle, running in
    Centos container on the Ubuntu virthost.
    Services can't be restarted in such a container
    unless you run it as a VM (with init as pid 1).
    So oooq can't pass the libvirt startup task and
    proceed with undercloud deployment. This is
    controlled by a new var 'chrooted'. Defaults to
    False.

    Allow custom undercloud initrd/vmlinuz

    Preserve default behavior, which is extract
    those from the overcloud image.

    The example use case is when running oooq from
    a priv container. Like running in Centos container
    on the Ubuntu virthost. The virt-copy-out may be
    working fine on the host OS and failing within the
    container with an error like:
    "'/dev/urandom' is not a supported random source".
    So those images may be prepared as well at the host
    OS and reused as external ones.

    Instack.json for undercloud VM image

    Do not try to copy the instackenv.json configuration
    file to the undercloud VM image, if it wasn't generated
    in the overcloud setup role.

    This may be the case if there are no overcloud nodes
    defined and the overcloud setup role is missing in
    the play, f.e. the containerized undercloud use case.

    Control injection of instackenv.json

    Allow users to control if instackenv.json must be injected
    for undercloud image or omitted. The latter may be the case
    when installing only a virtual undercloud node w/o overcloud
    nodes at all.

    Add chrooted to the common vars

    When building images from a container, the chrooted option
    needs to be extended for the extras repos as well.
    Make it shared via the common defaults.

    Do not attempt install kernel when chrooted

    When building images from a container/chroot, do not
    attempt to install kernels.
    Use the shared via the common defaults chrooted param
    to control that behavior.

    Do not manage users/groups/services when chrooted

    not) work with ansible user/group/service modules, so omit those.

There is related work to improve quickstart.sh supporting containerized mode, also using local connection transport for virthost. See https://review.openstack.org/#/q/topic:localcon+(status:open+OR+status:merged)
