James E. Blair c43e50b641 Add priority efforts section
Add a section listing priority efforts.  Ensure that there is
exactly one spec listed for each priority effort.  Add stub specs
for efforts which predate the spec process.  Also, publish the
Gerrit search string to see all priority effort changes.

Remove the implemented/ directory so that spec URLs are stable
over time.  We have been linking to them very liberally, so let's
not codify workflow in URLs.

Remove the :glob: options so that specs now need to be listed
individually in the sections in which they should appear.  This
means that spec workflow involves changing the index page rather
than moving files (and URLs).

Use Diskimage Builder in Nodepool

To ensure identical test environments in different clouds, use Diskimage Builder to create images which are then uploaded to each cloud used by Nodepool.

Problem Description

Each cloud provider in use by Nodepool supplies different images which can cause tests to perform differently.

Proposed Change

Rather than try to correct the delta in each provider, create an image locally that can be used in any provider and upload it to Glance.

Because it is difficult to use glance in all of its deployment variations, move much of the cloud-interaction logic into the "shade" library and use that to perform the uploads.

Alternatives

Keep playing catch-up whenever clouds update their images.
