Setup GlusterFS / Kubenernetes

*Requirements*

- Extend Kubespray with Ansible roles to setup a fully functioning GlusterFS cluster including Heketi on a configurable subset of cluster nodes,
- Ansible variables must be provided to configure the important aspects of the deployment (e.g. the block device on each cluster node used by GlusterFS as the storage device),
- Include functionality to setup a GlusterFS storage class in the deployed Kubernetes cluster,
- Ansible roles must support at least CentOS 7,
- Ansible roles must not break an existing deployment if run against it,
- GlusterFS deployment should follow Kubernetes and GlusterFS best practices and must be production ready,
- Ansible roles should follow Ansible best practices and Kubespray conventions,
- Ansible roles can be based on existing contrib roles but need to satisfy all criteria laid out here
- Quick response time regards communication with us (in within 24h)

*Acceptance criteria*

The base for the following operations is a VM cluster setup using Vagrant and the Kubespray Vagrantfile with the following parameters:
$num_instances = 3
$os = centos
$network_plugin = calico
$kube_node_instances_with_disks = true
$kube_node_instances_with_disks_number = 1
$vm_memory = 6144
$vm_cpus = 2

Then:
Run Kubespray to provision Kubernetes including GlusterFS on each VM
the additional VM disk is configured as the GlusterFS storage device
Create a persistent volume claim in Kubernetes
Create at least 2 different pods mounting the created persistent volume in read-write mode
Create some files in the mounted volume in one of the pods
Soft reboot the cluster node VMs

Expected result:
Kubernetes should be fully functional after reboot of VMs including GlusterFS
Created files (step 4 above) are accessable and readable in both pods
Changes done to the files in one pod are visible in the other pod
