Monty Taylor 535f2f48ff Merge shade and os-client-config into the tree
This sucks in the git history for both projects, then moves their files
in place. It should not introduce any behavior changes to any of the
existing openstacksdk code, nor to openstack.config and openstack.cloud
- other than the name change.

TODO(shade) comments have been left indicating places where further
integration work should be done.

It should not be assumed that these are the final places for either to
live. This is just about getting them in-tree so we can work with them.

The enforcer code for reasons surpassing understanding does not work
with python setup.py build_sphinx but it does work with sphinx-build
(what?) For now turn it off. We can turn it back on once the build
sphinx job is migrated to the new PTI.

openstacksdk Style Commandments
===============================
Read the OpenStack Style Commandments
http://docs.openstack.org/developer/hacking/
Indentation
-----------
PEP-8 allows for 'visual' indentation. Do not use it. Visual indentation looks
like this:
.. code-block:: python
return_value = self.some_method(arg1, arg1,
arg3, arg4)
Visual indentation makes refactoring the code base unneccesarily hard.
Instead of visual indentation, use this:
.. code-block:: python
return_value = self.some_method(
arg1, arg1, arg3, arg4)
That way, if some_method ever needs to be renamed, the only line that needs
to be touched is the line with some_method. Additionaly, if you need to
line break at the top of a block, please indent the continuation line
an additional 4 spaces, like this:
.. code-block:: python
for val in self.some_method(
arg1, arg1, arg3, arg4):
self.do_something_awesome()
Neither of these are 'mandated' by PEP-8. However, they are prevailing styles
within this code base.
Unit Tests
----------
Unit tests should be virtually instant. If a unit test takes more than 1 second
to run, it is a bad unit test. Honestly, 1 second is too slow.
All unit test classes should subclass `openstack.tests.unit.base.BaseTestCase`. The
base TestCase class takes care of properly creating `OpenStackCloud` objects
in a way that protects against local environment.
