Open Stack

I drafted some tentative release notes that summarizes the work that
has been done so far [1].

I asked input from #openstack-dns but would love if users could chime
in on a deprecation currently in review [2].

This change also makes it so designate will stop maintaining a
directory in /var/lib/designate/bind9.
This directory and was introduced in puppet-designate in 2013 and
doesn't seem relevant anymore according to upstream and designate
documentation.
