Stephen Finucane 3a6e1e2396 doc: Rework man pages
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.

Synopsis
========
nova-status <category> <action> [<args>]
Description
===========
`nova-status` is a tool that provides routines for checking the status of a
Nova deployment.
Options
=======
The standard pattern for executing a `nova-status` command is::
nova-status <category> <command> [<args>]
Run without arguments to see a list of available command categories::
nova-status
Categories are:
* ``upgrade``
Detailed descriptions are below.
You can also run with a category argument such as ``upgrade`` to see a list of
all commands in that category::
nova-status upgrade
These sections describe the available categories and arguments for
`nova-status`.
Upgrade
~~~~~~~
``nova-status upgrade check``
Performs a release-specific readiness check before restarting services with
new code. This command expects to have complete configuration and access
to databases and services within a cell. For example, this check may query
the Nova API database and one or more cell databases. It may also make
requests to other services such as the Placement REST API via the Keystone
service catalog.
**Return Codes**

* - Return code
- Description
* - 0
- All upgrade readiness checks passed successfully and there is nothing
to do.
* - 1
- At least one check encountered an issue and requires further
investigation. This is considered a warning but the upgrade may be OK.
* - 2
- There was an upgrade status check failure that needs to be
investigated. This should be considered something that stops an
upgrade.
* - 255
- An unexpected error occurred.
**History of Checks**
**15.0.0 (Ocata)**
* Checks are added for cells v2 so ``nova-status upgrade check`` should be
run *after* running the ``nova-manage cell_v2 simple_cell_setup``
command.
* Checks are added for the Placement API such that there is an endpoint in
the Keystone service catalog, the service is running and the check can
make a successful request to the endpoint. The command also checks to
see that there are compute node resource providers checking in with the
Placement service. More information on the Placement service can be found
at: `<https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/user/placement.html>`_
**16.0.0 (Pike)**
* Checks for the Placement API are modified to require version 1.4, that
is needed in Pike and further for nova-scheduler to work correctly.
