    Add useful error log when _determine_version_cap raises DBNotAllowed

    Change Icddbe4760eaff30e4e13c1e8d3d5d3f489dac3c4 was intended for the
    API service to check all cells for the minimum nova-compute service
    version when [upgrade_levels]/compute=auto.

    That worked in the gate with devstack because we don't configure
    nova-compute with access to the database and run nova-compute with
    a separate nova-cpu.conf so even if nova-compute is on the same
    host as the nova-api service, they aren't using the same config
    file (nova-api runs with nova.conf which has access to the API DB
    obviously).

    The problem is when nova-compute is configured with
    [upgrade_levels]/compute=auto and an [api_database]/connection,
    there are flows that can try to hit the API database directly
    because of the _determine_version_cap method. For example, the
    _sync_power_states periodic task trying to stop an instance,
    or even simple inter-compute communication over RPC like during
    a resize.

    This change simply catches the DBNotAllowed exception, logs a more
    useful error message, and re-raises the exception. In addition,
    the config help for the [api_database] group and "configuration"
    option specifically are updated to mention they should not be set
    on the nova-compute service.

    NOTE(mriedem): The test was modified to set the LAST_VERSION
    global to None since change I48109d5e32a2e9635c240da1c77f7f6cc7e3c76d
    is not in Stein.
