Added some findings to https://review.openstack.org/24851

Summary is there is a difference between how cfg and gflags works in
this case, but we've been using cfg since Essex ... so it really seems
like something else has changed here.

(e.g. do I remember 'nova-manage --debug' previously used to send its
debug output to /var/lib/nova-manage.log ?)
