This imports the "provide-user-data-to-instances" page
from the old openstack-manuals user guide.
Since we don't have a glossary, the :term: link is removed
and replaced with just giving the glossary definition as
the first part of the doc.

Partial-Bug: #1714017
As part of the docs migration from openstack-manuals to
nova in the pike release we missed the config-drive docs.
This change does the following:
1. Imports the config-drive doc into the user guide.
2. Fixes a broken link to the metadata service in the doc.
3. Removes a note about liberty being the current release.
4. Adds a link in the API reference parameters to actually
point at the document we have in tree now, which is
otherwise not very discoverable as the main index does
not link to this page (or the user index for that matter).

I can't see any evidence that anyone else uses our nova-idmapshift
binary, and it adds a lot of complexity (flags we never call for
example). Move the code we do actually use into the privsep
directory and simplify our calls to it. Remove the extra binary
from our install and documentation.

Add 'delete_host' command in 'nova-manage cell_v2'.
Add an optional 'force' option in 'nova-manage cell_v2 delete_cell'.
If specifying the 'force' option, a cell can be deleted
even if the cell has hosts.

The serial console feature is a little unknown and it's a little

Rework the man pages by:
- Wording the synopsis sections similarly for all commands
- Not using upper-case section names, as this is unnecessary and results
in worse HTML output
- Formatting code and file names as literals
The 'nova-idmapshift' man page is excluded as this utility will be
removed shortly.

The web-server-deployment section of placement.rst has been updated
to provide additional links to information and reflect the fact that
placement is now using uwsgi and mod_proxy_uwsgi in devstack. This
does not provide a full set of installations instructions. This is
somewhat intentional:
* there are many ways to deploy a wsgi application and we'd like the
packagers and deployers to choose a way that works best for them,
not impose one, and there's no way for us to document them all. It
is better to point to resources that explain some of the options
and allow people to inform themselves so they can make informed
choices
* we're no longer that keen on the mod_wsgi, but it tends to be the
easiest to document (fewer moving parts)
* the uwsgi+systemd method in devstack, while great, is abstracted
enough that the moving parts are not entirely visible and is one
of several ways for that scenario

When one is looking for an explanation and examples of
how to associate host aggregates to flavors, it's useful
to be able to point to that from the more top-level
aggregates page, which is linked from the main home page.
This change links from that to a somewhat buried reference
doc on host aggregates, which is actually really useful here.

Nova has a legacy hack to allow admins to specify hosts via an
availability zone using az:host:node. That means ':' cannot be
included in the name of an availability zone itself.
However, the aggregate API accepts requests which have
availability zone names including ':'.
This patch checks the availabilty zone name when aggregate is
created or updated and raises an error if it contains ':'.

There are currently two docs describing flavors in 'admin', which
contain a lot of overlapping information. Fix this by keeping the
configuration guide (how to create, delete, modify flavors) in
'admin', while moving the reference-style parts into 'user'. We
cross-reference the two internally.
Given that large chunks of this needed to be rewritten, we've taken the
opportunity to fix a poor description for the RXTX factor, closing a
longstanding bug in the process.

We haven't had a doc wide index or mod index in this
section on the main page for a long time, so it's a
weird title for just having a link to the search page.
This renames the section title, describes the link and
also links to the openstack-wide docs search page.

This adds `nova-manage db ironic_flavor_migration` which allows
pushing the migrations ahead of time, and without ironic or nova
services running.
This is a similar operation to online_data_migrations, but there is
a need to pass data that would normally be retrieved from ironic.
However, we want this to work offline and thus that data must be
provided locally. When fast-forwarding through the pike release,
ironic and nova-compute will never be started and thus we can't rely
on the online nature of the migration integrated into the ironic
driver.
