docs: Rework all things metadata'y
Turns out we've a *lot* of disparate metadata systems. Attempt to both link them somewhat through extensive cross-referencing and extract out deployment-specific stuff from user-facing docs. Lots of changes here, but in summary: - Split out admin-focused content from the metadata API, config drive, user data and vendordata docs. - Merge the config drive, metadata service, vendordata and user-data user docs, which are mostly talking about the same thing and are fairly barren without the deployment components - Make use of various oslo.config and Sphinx roles Side note: I miss when we have tech writers to do this stuff for us :( Change-Id: I4fb2b628bd93358a752e2397ae353221758e2984 Signed-off-by: Stephen Finucane <sfinucan@redhat.com>
