Document nova in tree virt drivers
In I29c5a678efec4fbc4bd7958ebe6d454ae30701cd we made the libvirt driver to run only on Linux. However we did not have documentation about what virt driver runs on what Operating System. This patch starts such documentation. Change-Id: Iccf4ab14865ac1694d7b0dad5dcb101f1ba152c8

Nova supports hypervisors via virt drivers. Nova has the following in tree
|

virt drivers:
|
||||
|

* :oslo.config:option:`compute_driver` = ``libvirt.LibvirtDriver``
|
||||
|
||||
This driver runs on Linux and supports multiple hypervisor backends, which
|
||||
can be configured via the :oslo.config:option:`libvirt.virt_type` config
|
||||
option.
|
||||
|
||||
* :oslo.config:option:`compute_driver` = ``xenapi.XenAPIDriver``
|
||||
|
||||
* :oslo.config:option:`compute_driver` = ``ironic.IronicDriver``
|

* :oslo.config:option:`compute_driver` = ``vmwareapi.VMwareVCDriver``
|

* :oslo.config:option:`compute_driver` = ``hyperv.HyperVDriver``

* :oslo.config:option:`compute_driver` = ``fake.FakeDriver``
|

This driver does not spawn any virtual machines and therefore should only be
|
||||
used during testing.
