OpenStack Compute (nova)

Add a configuration parameter to enable auto confirm for cold migration

Registered by Guangya Liu (Jay Lau)

Some discussion: http://<email address hidden>/msg13163.html

Now in OpenStack nova, we support live migration, cold migration and resize.

For live migration, we do not need to confirm after live migration finished.

For resize, we need to confirm, as we want to give end user an opportunity to rollback.

The problem is cold migration, because cold migration and resize share same code path, so once I submit a cold migration request and after the cold migration finished, the VM will goes to verify_resize state, and I need to confirm resize. This makes admin a bit confused by this, why do I need to verify resize for a cold migration operation? Why not reset the VM to original state directly after cold migration?

This bp will enable OpenStack nova to auto confirm cold migration directly.
1) resize_confirm_window will only handle auto confirm for resize
2) A new parameter will be introduce: cold_migration_confirm_window, it will only handle auto confirm for cold migration
