[goal] Deprecate the JSON formatted policy file

As per the community goal of migrating the policy file
the format from JSON to YAML[1], we need to do two things:

1. Change the default value of '[oslo_policy] policy_file''
config option from 'policy.json' to 'policy.yaml' with
upgrade checks.

2. Deprecate the JSON formatted policy file on the project side
via warning in doc and releasenotes.

Also replace policy.json to policy.yaml ref from doc and tests.

+    by ``oslo.policy``. As such operators will need to convert to YAML policy
+    files. Please see the upgrade notes for details on migration of any
