Ghanshyam Mann 1c0bd99c08 [goal] Deprecate the JSON formatted policy file
As per the community goal of migrating the policy file
the format from JSON to YAML[1], we need to do two things:

1. Change the default value of '[oslo_policy] policy_file''
config option from 'policy.json' to 'policy.yaml' with
upgrade checks.

2. Deprecate the JSON formatted policy file on the project side
via warning in doc and releasenotes.

Also replace policy.json to policy.yaml ref from doc.

upgrade:
- |
The default value of ``[oslo_policy] policy_file`` config option has
been changed from ``policy.json`` to ``policy.yaml``.
Operators who are utilizing customized or previously generated
static policy JSON files (which are not needed by default), should
generate new policy files or convert them in YAML format. Use the
`oslopolicy-convert-json-to-yaml
<https://docs.openstack.org/oslo.policy/latest/cli/oslopolicy-convert-json-to-yaml.html>`_
tool to convert a JSON to YAML formatted policy file in
backward compatible way.
deprecations:
- |
Use of JSON policy files was deprecated by the ``oslo.policy`` library
during the Victoria development cycle. As a result, this deprecation is
being noted in the Wallaby cycle with an anticipated future removal of support
by ``oslo.policy``. As such operators will need to convert to YAML policy
files. Please see the upgrade notes for details on migration of any
custom policy files.
