Bug description:
  We are using Openstack Rocky as well as rabbitmq 3.7.4 in our
  production.

  Occasionally I saw many following lines in log

  2020-06-11 02:03:06.753 3877409 WARNING oslo.messaging._drivers.impl_rabbit [-] Unexpected error during heartbeart thread processing, retrying...: ConnectionForced: Too many heartbeats missed

  heartbeart interval is 60s and rate is 2. Although it is screaming for
  missing hearbeats seems rabbitmq server is running fine and messages
  are received and processed successfully.

  SRU Details
  -----------

  [Impact]
  AMQP messages are dropped sometimes resulted in resource creation errors (happened on an environment twice in a week).
  Catching the ConnectionForced AMQP connection and reestablish the connection immediately will remediate the issue.

  [Test Case]
  Reproducing the issue is trickysome. Here are the steps that might help in reproducing the issue.

  1. Deploy OpenStack 
      (If stsstack-bundles project is used, run command ./generate-bundle.sh -s bionic -r stein -n ddmi:stsstack --run)
  2. Change heartbeat_timeout_threshold to 20s in nova.conf and restart nova-api
  On nova-cloud-controller,

  [oslo_messaging_rabbit]
  heartbeat_timeout_threshold = 20

  systemctl restart apache2.service

  3. Create and delete instances continuously

  ./tools/instance_launch.sh 10 cirros  # command on stsstack-bundles
  openstack server list -c ID -f value | xargs openstack server delete

  4. On rabbitmq server, drop packets from nova-api -> rabbitmq and allow them randomly
  sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5672 -s 10.5.1.55 -j DROP
  sudo iptables -D INPUT 1

  5. Perform steps 3,4 until you see the following message in nova-api log
  WARNING oslo.messaging._drivers.impl_rabbit [-] Unexpected error during heartbeart thread processing, retrying...: amqp.exceptions.ConnectionForced: Too many heartbeats missed

  6. Install the fixed python-oslo.messaging package on nova-cloud-controller
     And restart apache service.

  7. Perform steps 3,4 and verify nova-api log for the following INFO message.
  INFO oslo.messaging._drivers.impl_rabbit [-] A recoverable connection/channel error occurred, trying to reconnect: Too many heartbeats missed

  As the above test case is random in nature to reproduce, as additional
  measure, continuous integration tests for nova-cloud-controller will
  be run against the packages that are in -proposed.

  [Regression Potential]
  I do not foresee any regression potential as the patch just adds a new exception and reconnects to AMQP server immediately.
