Aleksandr Didenko b0079ccd77 Calico: fix peering with routers for new version
In new `calicoctl` version nodes peering with routers is broken.
We need to use predictable node names for calico-node and the
same names in calico `bgpPeer` resources and CNI.

Calico
===========
Check if the calico-node container is running
```
docker ps | grep calico
```
The **calicoctl** command allows to check the status of the network workloads.
* Check the status of Calico nodes
```
calicoctl node status
```
or for versions prior *v1.0.0*:
```
calicoctl status
```
* Show the configured network subnet for containers
```
calicoctl get ippool -o wide
```
or for versions prior *v1.0.0*:
```
calicoctl pool show
```
* Show the workloads (ip addresses of containers and their located)
```
calicoctl get workloadEndpoint -o wide
```
and
```
calicoctl get hostEndpoint -o wide
```
or for versions prior *v1.0.0*:
```
calicoctl endpoint show --detail
```
##### Optionnal : Define network backend
In some cases you may want to define Calico network backend. Allowed values are 'bird', 'gobgp' or 'none'. Bird is a default value.
To re-define you need to edit the inventory and add a group variable `calico_network_backend`
```
calico_network_backend: none
```
##### Optionnal : BGP Peering with border routers
In some cases you may want to route the pods subnet and so NAT is not needed on the nodes.
For instance if you have a cluster spread on different locations and you want your pods to talk each other no matter where they are located.
The following variables need to be set:
`peer_with_router` to enable the peering with the datacenter's border router (default value: false).
you'll need to edit the inventory and add a and a hostvar `local_as` by node.
```
node1 ansible_ssh_host=95.54.0.12 local_as=xxxxxx
```
