Ability to upload a complete tempest config

storyboard: https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/105

Problem description

It makes sense that if an admin already has a working and tested tempest config, they should be able to use it with the refstack tester.

Proposed change

Allowing the user to use a custom tempest config would require changes to the tester cli as well as the web interface. We can safely break the code commits for this into two tasks.

* The CLI would require an extra argument for a path to a config file. As well as some logic that bypassed the internal config generation.

Alternatives

None off hand.

Data model impact

None.

REST API impact

None

Performance Impact

This should speed up the tester because now it will not have to generate/discover config or prepare the cloud to match config options.

Developer impact
