This change moves the LibvirtDistroSupportMatrix [1] wiki page into the
tree as a reference doc. The wiki page will be decommissioned once this
change lands and is published.
Some older distro information is removed to keep the table readable and
a note is added to driver.py to ensure it updated with each version
bump.

It's time to shine a light on this area of the codebase ahead of some
much required cleanup. This documentation is based on an email sent
almost 5 years ago but is still accurate today.

This change adds a simple sequence diagram showing the flow of a volume
attachment between the various services, using the libvirt driver as an
example virt driver.

This is a follow-up patch for https://review.opendev.org/676730.
In the TOC of the current PDF file [1], most contents related to
user and admin guides are located under "For Contributors" section.
This is weird. It happens because the latex builder constructs
the document tree based on "toctree" directives even though they
are marked as "hidden".
This commit reorganizes "toctree" per section.
The "toctree" directives must be placed at the end of
individual sections. Otherwise, content of a last section and
content just after "toctree" directive are concatenated
into a same section in the rendered LaTeX document.
This commit also improves the following as well:
* Specify "openany" as "extraclassoptions" to skip blank pages
along with "oneside" to use same page style for odd and even pages.
* Set "tocdepth" and "secnumdepth" to 3 respectively.
"tocdepth" controls the depth of TOC and "secnumdepth" controls
the level of numbered sections in TOC.
Note that this commit does not reorganize file structure under doc/source.
I believe this should be done separately.

These closely related features are the source of a disproportionate
number of bugs and a large amount of confusion among users. The spread
of information around multiple docs probably doesn't help matters.
Do what we've already done for the metadata service and remote consoles
and clean these docs up. There are a number of important changes:
- All documentation related to host aggregates and availability zones is
placed in one of three documents, '/user/availability-zones',
'/admin/aggregates' and '/admin/availability-zones'. (note that there
is no '/user/aggregates' document since this is not user-facing)
- References to these features are updated to point to the new location
- A glossary is added. Currently this only contains definitions for host
aggregates and availability zones
- nova CLI commands are replaced with their openstack CLI counterparts
- Some gaps in related documentation are closed

Added reference documentation and release note to explain how filtering
of hosts by isolate aggregates works.

The conductor doc is not really end user material,
so this moves it under reference/, removes it from the
user page and adds it to the reference index for internals.
Also makes the contributor page link to the reference internals
since it's kind of weird to have one contributor section that
only mentions one thing but the internals under reference have
a lot more of that kind of detail. Finally, a todo is added so
we don't forget to update the reference internals about versioned
objects at some point since that's always a point of confusion
for people.

As discussed in the mailing list [1] since cells v1
has been deprecated since Pike and the biggest user
of it (CERN as far as we know) moved to cells v2
in Queens, we can start rolling back the cells v1
specific documentation to avoid confusing people
new to nova about what cells is and making them
understand there was an optional v1.
There are still a few mentions of cells v1 left in
here for things like adding a new cell which need
to be re-written and for that I've left a todo.
Users can still get at cells v1 specific docs from
published stable branches and/or rebuilding the
docs from before this change.

This adds some background, guidelines and structural
notes on writing nova-status upgrade checks.
This is intentionally written with some potentially
redundant information or nova developers as it's
also meant to be consumed outside nova as part of the
community-wide "upgrade-checkers" goal for Stein [1].

Scheduler hints are not really documented very well at all except
for being mentioned per scheduler filter in the admin configuration
guide, nor are they documented within relation to flavor extra
specs which are both used for impacting scheduling decisions and
are choices that a deployer has to make based on how they configure
their cloud.
This change adds a document about scheduler hints and how they are
similar to and different from flavor extra specs, including end
user discoverability and interoperability, and thoughts on which
should be used if writing a custom scheduler filter.
The TODO in the API guide is also resolved by linking to this
document.

There have been some major changes to how scheduling works in Nova
during the Pike and Queens cycles. This documents these design changes
so that this new, more complex workflow is clearly spelled out.

In an attempt to make the main navigation sidebar not be visual mud
(and really confusing) create a reference sub page that explains all
the references.
