[Bug 1804445] [NEW] Update rax-nova-agent to 2.1.18

[Balint Reczey]

Public bug reported:

[Impact]

Nova-agent is provided by Rackspace for installation within guests that
run on Rackspace Cloud. It is a collection of tools and daemons,
packaged as rax-nova-agent, that ensure that the Ubuntu images published
to Rackspace run properly on their platform.

Cloud platforms evolve at a rate that can't be handled in six-month
increments, and they will often develop features that they would like to
be available to customers who don't want to upgrade from earlier Ubuntu
releases. As such, updating rax-nova-agent to more recent upstream
releases is required within all Ubuntu releases, so they continue to
function properly in their environment.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/rax-nova-agent-Updates for more details.

[Test Case]

* Ensure that upgrading from the previous version works in Rackspace's cloud including rebooting the instance
* Ensure that images created with the updated rax-nova-agent boot and operate properly in Rackspace's cloud including rebooting the instance.
* Additional tests may be performed by the CPC team, please contact them before marking the package verified.

[Regression Potential]

Latest changes included changing system initialization and networking
setup which may break instance booting and setting up network
connectivity potentially making the instance unreachable. The testing
aims at revealing problems in those areas if there are regressions.
