Code Issues Proposed changes

Assume features from N-4 release instead of N-3 

Curretnly, features from N-3 release are assumed as a baseline
in the horizon development policy document.
LTS of Ubuntu Cloud Archive supports upgrade from N-4 to N.
If we assume a case where horizon is upgraded first, N release of
horizon needs to be able to run with N-4 release of back-end services.
The difference of N-3 and N-4 would be small, so it sounds reasonable
to assume features from N-4 release.

N-4 is chosen considering LTS support in the major OpenStack distributions:
* Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP): X -> X+3
  https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/openstack/platform/
* SuSE OpenStack Cloud (SOC): X -> X+2

* Ubuntu Cloud Archive: X -> X+4

* Related to the previous item, features available in ``N-3`` releases
* Related to the previous item, features available in ``N-4`` releases
(which means the recent four releases including the development version)
are assumed without checking the availability of features
to simplify the implementation.
