Public bug reported:

Currently pretty much every major upgrade requires full shutdown for all
neutron-server instances for the time while upgrade process is running.
The downtime is due to the need to run alembic scripts that modify
schema and transform data. Neutron-server instances are currently not
resilient to working with older schema. We also don't make an effort to
avoid 'contract' migrations.

The goal of the RFE is to allow upgrading controller services one by
one, without full shutdown for all of them in an HA setup. This will
allow to avoid public shutdown for API for rolling upgrades.

The RFE involves:
- adopting object facades for all interaction with database models;
- forbidding contract migrations in alembic;
- implementing new contract migrations in backwards compatible way in runtime.
