Title:
  CellMappingPayload in select_destinations versioned notification sends
  sensitive database_connection and transport_url information

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  In Progress
Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) stein series:
  New

Bug description:
  As of this change in Stein:

  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/508506/28/nova/notifications/objects/request_spec.py@334

  Which is not yet officially released, but is in the 19.0.0.0rc1, the
  select_destinations versioned notification payload during a move
  operation (resize, cold/live migrate, unshelve, evacuate) will send
  the cell database_connection URL and MQ transport_url information
  which contains credentials to connect directly to the cell DB and MQ,
  which even though notifications are meant to be internal within
  openstack services, seems like a pretty bad idea. IOW, just because
  it's internal to openstack doesn't mean nova needs to give ceilometer
  the keys to it's cell databases.

  There seems to be no justification in the change for *why* this
  information was needed in the notification payload, it seemed to be
  added simply for completeness.
