Just need to re-add those docs it looks like, along with a deprecation warning in the install guide.

We continue to get bugs in triage for the rocky install docs not saying that nova-consoleauth should be installed (duplicated to this bug). So I think we need to say *something* in the install guide about the nova-consoleauth service install (which was removed in https://review.openstack.org/#/c/565367/) - maybe it would be as simple as adding a note and linking to the workaround config option for more details:

Also see related bug 1798188. I'm not sure if this should be duplicated against that or not.

Since https://review.openstack.org/610673 merged, it should not be required to install nova-consoleauth unless the [workarounds]enable_consoleauth config option has been set to True by the operator.

    Restore nova-consoleauth to install docs

    The installation of the nova-consoleauth service was erroneously
    removed from the docs prematurely. The nova-consoleauth service
    is still being used in Rocky, with the removal being possible in
    Stein.

    This should have been fixed as part of change
    Ibbdc7c50c312da2acc59dfe64de95a519f87f123 but was missed.

    This is also related to the release note update in Rocky
    under change Ie637b4871df8b870193b5bc07eece15c03860c06.
