Mark McLoughlin ce27bca549 Try out a new nova.conf.sample format

The current format strikes me as fairly bizarre:

  - Having the help message after the option it's documenting seems
    backwards to me. Compare to the glance or swift samples.

  - Printing the type as e.g. "(StrOpt)" isn't very user friendly

  - We're creating a global pound symbol shortage

Switch to a new format that looks much more like a normal config file.

This generate_sample.sh tool is used to generate etc/nova/nova.conf.sample

Run it from the top-level working directory i.e.

  $> ./tools/conf/generate_sample.sh

Watch out for warnings about modules like libvirt, qpid and zmq not
being found - these warnings are significant because they result
in options not appearing in the generated config file.


The analyze_opts.py tool is used to find options which appear in
/etc/nova/nova.conf but not in etc/nova/nova.conf.sample
This helps identify options in the nova.conf file which are not used by nova.
The tool also identifies any options which are set to the default value.

Run it from the top-level working directory i.e.

  $> ./tools/conf/analyze_opts.py
