Allow services to have independent hostnames

Registered by Jim Rollenhagen

Currently kolla_internal_fqdn and kolla_external_fqdn are used as the endpoints for every service. This is both in service catalog data and configuration files (mostly keystone endpoints in the latter).

Some users desire to use an external load balancer which proxies to services based on the hostname in the request - for example, nova.example.com goes to nova, keystone.example.com goes to keystone, etc.
Some users desire to split control plane services across multiple machines. For example, placement API takes a beating, so users may wish to put placement on its own machines.

To meet these use cases, we can add vars for these service-specific hostnames, which default to the old value to keep the simple use case valid, and maintain backward compatibility. For example, for nova we will add nova_internal_fqdn and nova_external_fqdn. Users can override these as needed, or leave them as is to default to the shared kolla_internal_fqdn and kolla_external_fqdn.

As the main use case for proxying based on hostname is to put services on one port, we'll also need to make a split between the listening port for each service and the port used for API requests - we'll add vars like "nova_api_listen_port" for these (defaulting to vars like "nova_api_port" for backwards compatibility), to allow the load balancer and services to run on the same port on the same interface.
