@sdake
we can keep COPY_ONCE and COPY_ALWAY in docker images. But in
kolla-ansible side, only implement COPY_ALWAY.

And does kolla-k8s will only implement COPY_ONCE?

@Gerard
COPY_ALWAYS only affect the configuration file, like /etc/nova/nova.conf.
others are still immutable.

@Paul
For the end-user, either COPY_ONCE or COPY_ALWAYS is transparent. When he
running kolla-ansible, there is no big difference.
