Fixes an issue when user forgot to combine
'kolla_ansible_custom_passwords',
'kolla_ansible_default_custom_passwords' and own dictionary with
custom passwords in configuration files. Now
'kolla_ansible_extra_custom_passwords' should provide only user
custom passwords to add or override in the passwords.yml.

This variable is not supported since
I61a61ca59652b13687c2247d5881012b51f666a7, but was not removed from
etc/kayobe/kolla.yml in that change.

This change also adds the replacement variable docker_registry_insecure
to etc/kayobe/docker.yml.

We are seeing an issue on Rocky Linux 9 where VLAN interfaces on bridges
have their MTU set to MTU-1 after rebooting. This is likely related to
how MTU is set by NetworkManager for bridges: it first sets the MTU to
MTU-1 before setting it to the correct value [1].

We can work around this issue by not explicitly setting the MTU
configuration on the VLAN interface if it is the same as the parent
bridge. It will be automatically inherited from the parent.

Stop configuring the seed host as gateway when seed SNAT is disabled
(which is the default since Xena), otherwise overcloud hosts may take a
long time to gather facts until their network configuration is applied
(probably because DNS servers are thought to be reachable until the
gateway is changed or removed).

Back in the Ussuri release, we changed the Bifrost kernel location to
use ipa.kernel instead of ipa.vmlinuz. While this works fine for newly
discovered nodes, any node added to Bifrost in Train or earlier will
have kept ipa.vmlinuz as its deploy kernel.

This can cause issues since upgrading Bifrost or building new deployment
images will update ipa.kernel, but not ipa.vmlinuz, resulting in nodes
booting with an old kernel and a new ramdisk.

Fix by adding a new rule updating the legacy kernel location and
documenting how to update node information.

This change adds a variable that can be used to disable kolla docker
registry login attempts, even when the registry username and password
are set.

This is required for deployments using a non-standard containerised
registry deployed on the seed during the deploy-container step,
since it takes place after the registry login attempt.

This requires disabling libvirt_vm_trust_guest_rx_filters, which when
enabled triggers the following errors when booting baremetal instances
with Tenks on Libvirt 9 (and most likely since 8.9.0):

    Cannot set interface flags on 'macvtap1': Value too large for defined data type

This is apparently triggered by a Libvirt commit refreshing rx-filters
more often [1].

As explained in I71a2051d8acd63379bd70bc1287a059d4a7f6387, this setting
was added to allow traffic destined for other MAC addresses to reach VMs
when using a macvtap interface.

This will prevent multicast from working, but we don't need it for
baremetal tests in CI.

This setting will be enabled again once the issue is resolved in either
Libvirt or Tenks.

This reverts commit 21c68bbf.

Also increase timeout of upgrade jobs which is too short now due to the
added delay added by bare metal testing.
