Gnocchi file backend HA

Registered by Vladislav Belogrudov

Currently the only available backends for Gnocchi are file and Ceph. From these two only Ceph provides high availability. There are ways to make file backend HA without Ceph, e.g. mount shared folder to all Gnocchi servers. This blueprint consists of three parts: 1) allow host mount instead of volume for multinode Gnocchi installations to facilitate shared storage usage (e.g. NFS)
2) automatic nfs folder mount if nfs server is provided
3) precheck to prevent situations where file store is chosen as backend but shared storage is absent

    Automatically mount nfs share for Gnocchi 'file' backend

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/563687/ has relevant precheck for nfs shares - as soon as it is accepted one can reuse it for gnocchi file storage backend test.
