Hello Everyone,

Glance core team have discussed and decided during Caracal PTG[1] about the
deprecation of location strategy since in Bobcat we added support for the weighing mechanism

to glance store[2]. To use this new feature we decided to deprecate location strategy in this 

cycle and remove it in 'D' (2024.2) development cycle[3].

In this cycle we are going to deprecate following configuration
options related to location strategy:
* location_strategy
* store_type_preference
Also a warning message regarding deprecation will be added to`location_order` and `store_type`

strategy module during the initiation phase.


Please let us know if you have any comments on the plan above.
