Feature Overview

Ceph Mon address is never re-validated other than when we call the ensure shares mechanism, currently only in the driver startup. The idea consists of providing an API to allow administrators to invoke ensure shares, which would mean that the mon address would be re-validated.  This new manila share status that prevents a service restarts.

Goals

Provide an API to trigger/control ensure shares; enable the feature in the openstack client.

Requirements

State of backend shares can be asserted through API calls

Done - Acceptance Criteria

Have the feature merged and tested with Ceph / NFS backend

Documentation Considerations

Might have to add docs explaining how to use this from the CLI client
