Pierre Riteau 37899026bf Add ansible_nodename (system hostname) to /etc/hosts

Kolla-Ansible populates /etc/hosts with overcloud hosts using their API
interface IP address. When configured correctly, this allows Nova to use
the API interface for live migration of instances between compute hosts.

The hostname used is from the `ansible_hostname` variable, which is a
short hostname generated by Ansible using the first dot as a delimiter.
However, Nova defaults to use the result of socket.gethostname() to
register nova-compute services.

In deployments where hostnames are set to FQDNs, for example when using
FreeIPA, nova-compute would try to reach the other compute node using
its FQDN (as registered in the Nova database), which was absent from
/etc/hosts. This can result in failures to live migrate instances if
DNS entries don't match.

This commit populates /etc/hosts with `ansible_nodename` (hostname as
reported by the system) in addition to `ansible_hostname`, if they are
different.

     Adds system hostnames to ``/etc/hosts``, if different from short hostnames.
     This can fix live migration of Nova instances in some contexts. See `bug
     1830023 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/kolla-ansible/+bug/1830023>`__ for
     details.
