Persist DNS configuration for nodes for openstack provider

* Firstly, provision a Heat stack with given public resolvers.
* After the DNS node configured as an authoritative server,
  switch the Heat stack's Neutron subnet to that resolver
  (private_dns_server) the way it to become the first entry pushed
  into the  hosts /etc/resolv.conf. It will be serving the cluster
  domain requests for OpenShift nodes and workloads.
* Drop post-provision /etc/reslov.conf nameserver hacks as not
  needed anymore.
* Fix dns floating IPs output and add the priv IPs output as well.
* Update docs, clarify localhost vs servers requirements, add
  required Network Manager setup step.
* Use post-provision task names instead of comments.

+The `public_dns_nameservers` is a list of DNS servers accessible from all

+external FQDNs that do not belong to the cluster's DNS domain and its subdomains.
+
+The `openshift_use_dnsmasq` controls either dnsmasq is deployed or not.
+By default, dnsmasq is deployed and comes as the hosts' /etc/resolv.conf file
+first nameserver entry that points to the local host instance of the dnsmasq
+daemon that in turn proxies DNS requests to the authoritative DNS server.
+When Network Manager is enabled for provisioned cluster nodes, which is
+normally the case, you should not change the defaults and always deploy dnsmasq.
+
+Note that the authoritative DNS server is configured on post provsision
+steps, and the Neutron subnet for the Heat stack is updated to point to that
+server in the end. So the provisioned servers will start using it natively
+as a default nameserver that comes from the NetworkManager and cloud-init.
 
 `openstack_ssh_key` is a Nova keypair -- you can see your keypairs with
