Actually Openstack services configuration can be overriden using many
files:
- /etc/kolla/config/<< service name >>/<< config file >>
- /etc/kolla/config/<< service name >>/<<host>>/<< config file >>
- /etc/kolla/config/global.conf
- /etc/kolla/config/database.conf
- /etc/kolla/config/messaging.conf
Only per-service configuration is actually documented here:
https://github.com/openstack/kolla-ansible/blob/master/doc/advanced-configuration.rst#L164
Allowing to globally modify service configuration can be perform too,
but it can be done in 3 different manners, all not documented:
- /etc/kolla/config/global.conf
- /etc/kolla/config/database.conf
- /etc/kolla/config/messaging.conf
database.conf and messaging.conf seems redundant with global.conf.
In order to simplify codebase it seems logical to remove them.
Documentation has been added for overriding configuration globally and
release note has been added too.

Some roles made a bad usage of the 'node_config_directory' variable.
As described here:
https://github.com/openstack/kolla-ansible/blob/master/ansible/group_vars/all.yml#L16
'node_config_directory' is the directory to store the config files on
the destination node.
This variable MUST be changed to 'node_custom_config'.
Futhermore this will unified all roles.
