    Add useful error log when _determine_version_cap raises DBNotAllowed
    
    Change Icddbe4760eaff30e4e13c1e8d3d5d3f489dac3c4 was intended for the
    API service to check all cells for the minimum nova-compute service
    version when [upgrade_levels]/compute=auto.
    
    That worked in the gate with devstack because we don't configure
    nova-compute with access to the database and run nova-compute with
    a separate nova-cpu.conf so even if nova-compute is on the same
    host as the nova-api service, they aren't using the same config
    file (nova-api runs with nova.conf which has access to the API DB
    obviously).
    
    The problem is when nova-compute is configured with
    [upgrade_levels]/compute=auto and an [api_database]/connection,
    there are flows that can try to hit the API database directly
    because of the _determine_version_cap method. For example, the
    _sync_power_states periodic task trying to stop an instance,
    or even simple inter-compute communication over RPC like during
    a resize.
    
    This change simply catches the DBNotAllowed exception, logs a more
    useful error message, and re-raises the exception. In addition,
    the config help for the [api_database] group and "configuration"
    option specifically are updated to mention they should not be set
    on the nova-compute service.

Title:
  nova-compute fails with DBNotAllowed error

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) rocky series:
  Confirmed
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) stein series:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Description
  ===========

  During routine operations or things like running regular tempest checks nova-compute tries to reach database and fails with DBNotAllowed error:
  https://logs.opendev.org/33/660333/10/check/openstack-ansible-deploy-aio_metal-ubuntu-bionic/97d8bc3/logs/host/nova-compute.service.journal-23-20-40.log.txt.gz#_Aug_06_22_51_25

  Steps to reproduce
  ==================

  This might be reproduced with deploying all nova components (like api,
  scheduler, conductor, compute) on the same host (OSA all-in-one
  deployment). During such setup single configuration file is used
  (nova.conf).

  As a solution it's possible to log more helpful information why this
  happens and add some description into docs.
