Storage Availability Zone per backend

Registered by Goutham Pacha Ravi

Availability Zones (AZs) are failure domains. This could be a rack of hardware with the same power supply or a cordoned off area of one's data center that can fail individually.

Manila's service architecture and featureset (Share Provisioning, Replication) relies on the concept of AZs. Manila supports multi-backend architecture since Juno, but we still required that all enabled backends in a manila configuration file are in a single storage availability zone. This lends itself poorly to designs where one would want to run the manila share service in a completely different place than backends, for example: one could imagine a centralized control plane running all the manila processes but the storage backend itself located in a separate site (Ex: Edge Deployments)

Manila should support this architecture and allow "storage_availability_zone" to be configurable per-backend instead of per-service.
