[kolla-ansible][nova]Problem with distribution of instance on servers

There are two settings we've tweaked in the past in Nova.

shuffle_best_same_weighed_hosts  --> Allow more spreading in the case of
computes with the exact same specs/weights.
host_subset_size --> Helps with concurrent requests to get different hosts

Before that, we saw the same behavior with Openstack stacking VM on single
computes. It still respects anti-affinity, but I don't see a good reason to
not spread as a default. Changing these two was enough to allow our spread
to get a little better.
