Subject: [PATCH] use OS python to create kolla-ansible venv
Currently kayobe creates kolla-ansible venv using kayobe venv
python3. There are corner cases when creation k-a venv fails
while using kayobe venv created with python 3.6 buggy setuptools/
virtualenv command. Using OS python to create venv solves those
corner cases issues and preserves compatibilty.

+ Modifies the default value of ``kolla_ansible_venv_python`` to
+ ``/usr/bin/python3``. Using operating system python to create
+ kolla-ansible venv fixes corner cases when using older venvs created with
+ ``virtualenv`` command.
