    Remove CellMappingPayload database_connection and transport_url fields
    
    Change I019e88fabd1d386c0d6395a7b1969315873485fd in Stein, which
    is not yet officially released, exposes the unencrypted
    database_connection URL and MQ transport_url to a CellMapping in
    the select_destinations versioned notification CellMappingPayload.
    
    While notifications are not meant to be consumed by end users of
    the cloud but only internal services of the deployment, it still
    seems like a bad idea to give the keys to the nova cell DB and MQ
    to an external-to-nova service like ceilometer.
    
    This change removes the fields from the CellMappingPayload and
    bumps the major version to 2.0 to signal the change to consumers,
    although I don't expect anything is consuming this yet but we should
    follow standard versioning procedure anyway.
    
    Note that notification consumers do not request a specific payload
    version nor do they get a schema to perform their own backporting,
    they just get what they get, so after this there should be no worry
    about needing to support the 1.0 format for this payload.

Title:
  CellMappingPayload in select_destinations versioned notification sends
  sensitive database_connection and transport_url information

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) stein series:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  As of this change in Stein:

  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/508506/28/nova/notifications/objects/request_spec.py@334

  Which is not yet officially released, but is in the 19.0.0.0rc1, the
  select_destinations versioned notification payload during a move
  operation (resize, cold/live migrate, unshelve, evacuate) will send
  the cell database_connection URL and MQ transport_url information
  which contains credentials to connect directly to the cell DB and MQ,
  which even though notifications are meant to be internal within
  openstack services, seems like a pretty bad idea. IOW, just because
  it's internal to openstack doesn't mean nova needs to give ceilometer
  the keys to it's cell databases.

  There seems to be no justification in the change for *why* this
  information was needed in the notification payload, it seemed to be
  added simply for completeness.
