Title:
  placement_database config option help is wrong

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) newton series:
  Fix Committed
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) ocata series:
  Fix Committed
Status in openstack-ansible:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The help on the [placement_database] config options is wrong, it
  mentions Ocata 14.0.0 but 14.0.0 is actually Newton, Ocata was 15.0.0:

  "# The *Placement API Database* is a separate database which is used for the new
  # placement-api service. In Ocata release (14.0.0) this database is optional:"

  It also has some scary words about configuring it with a separate
  database so you don't have to deal with data migration issues later to
  migrate data from the nova_api database to a separate placement
  database, but the placement_database options are not actually used in
  code. They will be when this blueprint is complete:
